    Has anyone used the DORMAN B90255RD heavy duty upper ball joints for an R&R? Information seems impressive but that’s from the mfg. Appreciated, thanks.

    I'm a firm believer in using only genuine Toyota parts for engine, running gear, and suspension parts.

    I went with moog UBJs a few months ago. Currently back in there upgrading to new UCAs, and those moog UBJs already feel rough and one was leaking. Maybe 5k miles on them.

    Just go OEM.

    granted Im on 35s, but I cook Moog ball joints in 3-5k miles as well even with greasing before every trip.

    OEM is the only way to go for ball joints
