Beck/arnley upper/lower balljoints quality?

Has anyone tried these balljoints becuz I am looking to install brand new suspension parts, these actually looked like a decent constructed balljoint? Any opinions? Thanks guys

 

I can't answer your question, but the only thing I can tell you is

Don't cheap out on balljoints. Get the best:
Toyota OEM, if possible
or Japanese made Sankei 555

 

Yeah for sure I definitely know that I was just wondering if they rival oem or sankei?

 

I have them for LBJ and haven't had any problems but most will say go for OEM

 

How many miles on them so far?

 

I've seen some beck/Arnley as rebranded 555's
I guess you could get lucky depending on the batch you get...

Anyway, if you want aftermarket, go the premium aftermarket route

When you buy cheapo you buy twice (or even more) and when you buy expensive, you buy once

 

I just did ball joints on my 1996 5 lug. Found Sankei 555 uppers for $75 for 2. Super impressed with the quality. I took the plug out and installed a grease fitting so I can give em a shot of grease every now and again. NAPA can order you Sankei's as well. But may be about the same price as OEM. Whatever you get make sure they are greaseable.

 

20K-ish and no problems. It's my daily and was driving 120+ mi a day for work, nice now having the drive as less than 20mi round trip.
Make sure when you install the new LBJs you have them lined up correctly, otherwise it will seem like 1 or 2 of the bolts are too short, they're the correct length, just have to have the position right for the threads to line up correctly

 

Ok premium brands? Not sure which aftermarket are premium I heard of moog, sankei...

 

I’ve installed a pair of Beck/Arnley LBJ’s that were 555’s as well. Tie rod end too.

Those went in a first gen Tundra though.

 

Moog makes quality ball joints and tire rod ends. I've put 100k miles on mine, no issues. Whatever you get i would paint them first, lowers usually come bare metal

 

Ok good info so far and I'm still thinking about which ones? I want to save money but I want quality it sounds like I'm leaning towards moog but sounds like nothing is better than OEM

 

Same boat here guys where can I get them 555 .. but the Becks are good to?

 

nothing is better than OEM, but it is pricey
If you want to save money but still want quality, just don't take the cheapest ones you can find nor the most expensive ones
the cheapest they are, the more likely they are some knock-off chinese imitation

 

Looks like ima give the Becks a try

 

If they fit your budget then get em.

 

Yes I think I'm going to give the becks a try to becuz itlooks like most ppl get the 555 or oem LBJs too so I'm going to chance it haha thanks guys

 

Rock auto has them cheaper than anywhere else, order both lowers shipped less than a $100. Oem is king I agree but pricey. If my truck had 100k miles id spring for the oem, but with 300k the balljoints would outlast the truck

 

They have these at Leprechaun Auto. I have had good luck with Import Direct parts and they are made in Japan.

That's exactly where I was going to buy them actually, thanks bud! And I see u live or from NM too? I'm from Farmington, NM and then went south to Chandler, AZ

First time I've seen these but they look like they'll definitely save you the time to paint and they look constructed very well too thanks man for the suggestion.
