Great repair and sage advice to use OEM parts rather than aftermarket trash. Nice tip on cotter pin rotation.
Thank you!
The difference between oem ball joints and aftermarket ones is the oem doesnt come with a grease port. Most common cause of fail....
Not doing common truck bal joint maintainance every 3 to 4 years (grease or change anyway)
Oem doesnt have a grease port, therefore they're the common ones that fail
Aftermarket has a grease port, therefore fail less often
Every video or pic I see of a failure, oem without grease
omg was just about to amazon some moogs... now will go oem.. thanks..
Great video. Thanks for sharing
I only keep a set of MOOG lbjs as backup while I'm wheeling. Other than that, OEM lbjs are what I used.
You do nice work !! Thanks for the video. Moog use to be very good parts years back..
Thank you! Yeah, the quality isn’t what it used to be.
Thanks for the video
Well done!!
Great job ❤️🖤💚💛
Awesome video
Thank you!
I cannot separate the piece with the 4 bolts from the tire rod. I wish I could send you a picture thks

Jack, what's your thoughts on the sankei 555 brand? have you dealt with them much? I know oem is the best option but the little bit of research I've down it seemed as if they are a better product than moog's but not quite to par with oem's. I also like that the 555's are greasable. They're from japan rather than china like the moog's (if that makes a difference)
I bought my OEM ball joints from Ourisman Toyota (no longer McGeorge Toyota) for 116.00 each(listed price 172.00ea). They were for my 2003 Tundra.
Edit: bought on 10 Apr 2024
Can they be order from any dealership? Is there a reason everyone goes to that one?
@mterrazas145 I tried my Toyota and they were expensive, but for some reason, Ourisman is just cheaper.
I also ordered from Ourisman Toyota.
They have the best price
Toyota changed ball joint size mid year (August) 2003, same for brakes. Also I can't understand why Toyota doesn't have factory grease fittings.
No grease for the factory ball joints?
WOW! what a great job yes indeed aftermaket lower ball joint is not recommend and i agree
OEM toyota parts . My toyota tundra 2003 special edition terminator i changed them with aftermarket and last 2 years sorry guys but put OEM and on 2024 they still hanging on since the last change 2015
I bought the 555 ball joints for my truck.
I ordered 555 SB3806 the sankie non-greasable ones from japan and installed it on oct 2018. Mine is the 90 series land cruiser prado with that same ball joints. No plays till today. Ball joints don't just pop out without tell tale signs like squeaking when turning the steering or clunking when braking or hitting bumps.
What's R for? 🤔
How are there no comments and 3.5k likes on a video with 35 views?
I never saw that. I show 8 likes right now. Must have been a glitch.
58V 9L for me, sounds like a big diesel engine lol
No thread lock?
No, not for these bolts.
I used moog and had failure within about 4 months. I looked at a different moog box and it was a different part. I mean same part but bolts were different and other variances. I heard there was a copy of the moog imitation thing from china junk. Idk. I'd stay oem when possible.
Yeah, I’ve seen that happen many times, especially with aftermarket suspension parts. For example, I’ll order left and right control arms. Same brand, same boxes, but the parts inside are visibly different. As time goes on, I’m becoming more and more convinced that OEM parts are the way to go with any make of car.
Had a lbj failure in my LC prado 90 series that has the same ball joint. I ordered the upgraded sankie SB3806 (non-greasable with plastic ball seat)from japan. I did the replacement in 2018 and its still hold solid today. I don't think this system is meant to be greasable. A thin layer of grease between metals is not going to manage the tremendous forces of impact this bj goes through continuosly. A special plastic seat is needed to absorb the impacts. Whether oem or aftermarket regular checks for play will keep you safe. Lbj don't just fail without tell tale signs. Clunking when braking, squeaking when turning and vague steering that refuses to centre are things to watch out for.
@@hokz7283 mine were squeaking after install. I even attempted to grease them and found out they could not be because they did not have fittings so I injected grease in the boots. Still failed. I was surprised they were squeaking being brand new and all.
@@headpainter1 the sankie sb3806 can be rotated by hands when new. Its not tight and jerky like some other aftermarket ones that needs force. This one is smooth to rotate.. like cutting cheese. Just a week back i replaced my right cv. I checked the lbj it had become looser to rotate than when new, i was quite worried. After installing and while still on the jack, i immediately put a pry bar between the ball joint and the control arm and did the leverage test. No play at all. Did the same the other side it was all tight. I had installed it in 2018. I am not saying this is better than oem but it has worked for me. I am from the foothills of the Himalayas in far northeast india. We don't have good roads too like in the mainland. So it has taken a beating.
@@hokz7283 well that's interesting. I appreciate your feedback as well as probably several other readers, My fears would have been the same with the plastic and the impacts of off-road driving. That's a lot of weight on a plastic or synthetic part. I use to buy a lot of aftermarket which is not worth it anymore. Quality has been non existent. Now I rebuild my factory starters and alternators if I can locate the kits and brushes. Seems they are hiding this information from us in the USA anyway.
I'm glad you're having good service with them.
