Ok, seriously trying to investigate this one.

The Basics:
2010 E-250 5.4 Flex
188,000
Used as a locksmith van (very heavy and lots of daily potholes)

I need to rebuild the front end AGAIN !!!!!!!! Balljoints and tie rods. What brand is everyone having the best luck with? I bought this one 100K ago and this will be the 2nd time I've rebuilt the front end. First time was when I got it Seems as though they are tough on the front ends. I have heard MOOG is good, but im also a believer in OEM. Literally I put 200-250 miles a day on this beast. In downtown (POTHELL) Atlanta. She takes a beating!!!!!

Trying to not have to do this again for awhile. Your opinion is appreciated!!!!!!!!!

 

Most after market joints are able to be greased, whereas OEM usually are not. Moog are able to be lubed. Maybe if lubed with a high quality grease every few weeks they might be able to hold up a while longer. While you are here your comments as a traveling locksmith would certainly be appreciated on automotive questions if you would consider offering suggestions . A lot of folks here don't know the services a locksmith can offer instead of having to always go to a dealership with security system problems which you possibly come across frequently.
