the difference between moog lower ball joints (k785 and k787) and the original ones ? i have seemed to mixed mine up

lemme know asap i'm in the middle of a build

the tie rods (steering) are on the back so the arm on the ball joint has to go to the back...

 

[thesnafu72]

wait are you referring to which goes on the right and which goes on the left bc i got that down.. i just have two of each and i'm not sure which one are the new ones..

one of them has blue-green grease in 'em..

Those are the Moog ones.

thanks 6pk but **** how the hell do i get the dust boots to fit.. lube ain't working!

 

[6pk2goDemon]

Can you find a piece of pipe, plastic pvc or anything that fits around the flat area of the boot only. Gently tap it down onto the joint w/ a hammer. Don't rip the boot........

Here is a thread about Moog ball joints I found interesting, read post#11 slantsixdan links to an article comparing moog ball joints. I havent done mine yet, but I wont go with Moog.
