Teraflex Ball Joints

[Ospreyfe55]

I just ordered a set of TF Ball Joints for my Jeep, but know I have local Jeepers telling me I should have gone with something else! Did I make a mistake? I liked that they have a Lifetime warranty, rebuildable and honestly trust and like TeraFlex!

Dynatrac is the only way to go. Rebuildable in place so you don’t have to wear down the interference fit.

The nice thing about the teraflex is that they are reasonably priced at $299. The wear adjustability, grease ports and all metal internals are also a nice touch.

However, where these lose out against the truly "fully rebuildable" ball joints is eventually you will wear them out beyond what the adjustability can compensate for. At that point, you'll have to press them out and get a replacement. If you do it enough times, you wear out the inner Knuckle. (plus its a huge hassle)...

The only truly rebuildable (in place) options that I'm aware of are the:

- Dynatrac HD ball joints
- American Iron Offroad Ball joint delete

Both of these use a spherical bearing/heim-joint which is fully replaceable once worn out. But they also cost more than the Teraflex

From my understanding the new TF BJs only need to have the knuckle removed to rebuild the BJs, the main housing stays in the axle C's.
