Help: Camburg Performance Ball Joint Upper Arms

Completely off topic..was going to ask if you we're the same MRW from The370z.com but I see your avatar pic. Figured I was the only one to bail on their 370z and get a truck!

 

Haha yeah that's me.. But only difference is I still have my 370! I have been on and off the past year tryin to decide to sell it or not. :/

 

Wheelersoffroad.com has them for 100$ a pair but as I recall I got them for $80 a set at winchester auto. Moog makes great products. They are easy to lube, and the boot seems to be of high quality.

 

Looks good, what coilover you running?

Ya, I've got the moog's in as well! They'll fit he's just got to try harder, lol! Good luck man!

 

Maybe you just need to grease the bushings. The ball joint joint, itself, shouldnt squeak at all.

Thanks. Not really coilovers, but 5100/OME 885's.

 

I thought you couldn't run moog ball joint with camburg uca
???

 

Hey guys I jist purchased these from sunny out of*DownSouthMotorsports! Im currently running billy 51s @1.75 w/eibach 1.6 springs along with mactrac 4 inch spindles. So really looking foward to getting mine installed! Also my offset on my rims are 4.25 and im on 285/75/16s so that being said do you guys now if my offset will affect my ucas fitting especially since im on a spindle lift ????? Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

You should be fine. I ran maxtrax and they push the wheel out about an inch.

 

Alright thanks hiatt you always help me out brother!

 

Hey hiatt my upper ball joints need to be replaced asap also so since I cant run moog which ones should I get ? Having a hard time finding oem

 

Moog's ball joints are known to have slight variance in diameters. It is hit or miss if they will fit in Camburg's UCAs. Best bet would be find a local autohouse who has a handful in stock and measure them with calipers to cherrypick the smaller ones.

Also I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to sand or grind 'em down a hair if you end up with some that are tight. Shouldn't need much.

 

Alright mine will be in no later then friday so ill post pics and let you guys no thanks

 

Did you find replacement Ball Joints? If so, did you end up pressing in Moog?

I'm currently in the same boat....I need to replace my ball joints in my Camburg Ball Joint UCA's as both of my boots are really torn. My problem is that I can't tell what I currently have in there and purchased the truck used with these parts already installed. My Ball Joint has a Zerk Fitting at the top of it but I have not seen any writing or a manufacturers stamp. So, I'm not sure if it's a Moog Ball Joint or an OEM Ball Joint that had the top tapped & a zerk installed. Any help with this will be most appreciated.
See the photos...

 

would it be that hard to just drill and tap these caps then screw in a zerk fitting?

Is the Boot material all Blue?

 

No...the boot material is black. The blue is coming from the exposed area behind the boot. I took a couple more pictures:

 

That is an aftermarket balljoint not stock. Call the shop to discuss how to fit a Moog balljoint.

 

I think it is a Raybestos Ball-Joint. We don't have experience with those, but I bet they are the same specs as the Moogs.

 

Thank you for the replys and help!

I will pick up a pair of Moog Ball Joints and swap them out.

 

Dan, I guess it could be a Raybestos but the boot is black not light blue...
