Hello all!

Ive read the forums countless times over the years but never ran into a problem i couldnt find a solution for. That being said my upper ball joints are shot. i have the 2.5" Coil spring and control arm lift kit from Fabtech. I replaced my ball joints about 10,000 miles ago and they're already toast. The replacement ball joints are right around $110 each online. Cant justify wasting $200 again so im hoping someone else has the same kit and was able to find an alternative ball joint. This is a daily driver, i stopped offroading after my ball joint snapped on me. I saw someone made a post selling the Fabtech control arms i have and they had MOOG ball joints in them so i know its possible but im hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Moog K8738 is the answer for others who may need the information. However, One of my balljoints were still loose. The driver side was pushed in by my fingers with little force, my passenger side pressed in nice and tight. Moog does make an oversized lower ball joint for older control arms. I have not found any information regarding oversized upper balljoints fitting fabtech control arms. Definitely don’t want to spend $600 on another set of arms.
