555's seem like the best choice. Thanks for going through this review! Moog used to be good stuff, but nowadays they don't seem to be doing quite as well. Duralast is just asking to use that lifetime warranty and I only want to do ball joints every 200k, not 40k.
Just been there and done that myself in the last month. Stay away from Mevotech as well. The grooved style cuts into the spindle, which if you replace them will end up just cutting the spindle again. In the end the mounting area gets chewed up and no matter what mount you install it will be loose and eventually fail.
Installed moog balljoints, stabilizer link and control arms driver side so far so good. Cant wait to install on the passenger side. Also replacing moog stabilizer link rear soon.
@Element Lifestyle It helps forsure, definitely learned alot. Thanks man, I've missed out alot this past year with my new job but definitely want to make it out to the Joshua tree one you are having.
@@ReadySetElement whatever you miss this year you’ll get it back and even better for the next year .Will be nice to have you guys for the JT meet up . See you in the Element on the Runway 👍
Hello, I have 2007 Honda element SC and I put MOOG ball joint yesterday on the front passenger and driver side and so far the driver side went lose!! So how about your ball joint doing and if good would you give me website for it so I can order it. Thanks :)
Where can you find and buy “555” made in japan ball joints some are reboxed from ac delco to beck and arnley which are “555” the last time I purchased then now their suppliers are back to made in china??
What do you think about the brand CTR? It is very similar to the 555. The CTR does not uses any locking ring nor cotter pin but nylon locking nut. They are a supplier of OEM parts for Korean automotive.

You are right brother. Can’t go wrong with Triple 5s. I’m looking forward to install a pair of those in my Kakhi E 😎
@@Element_lifestyle The Duralast Ball Joint SB6272 at AutoZone seems to be the same as the 555.
Who sales part 555
Thx u for that valuable information. My HE has had problems and I will buy the 555 for my back ones. 👍🏾
Only you can get them in the front. Glad this video help you up
Awesome info
555 MADE IN JAPAN 🔥
Moog has internal plastic on their balljoints. Pre 2010 they were a great brand
I replaced the warn out Moog ball joints on my 2003 with some new Moog ball joints. So far so good. I like the look of the 555 too.
Nice to hear your experience with Moog.
Moog is no good for honda.

Thanks for sharing that info. Is valuable for my future repairs 👍🙏

@@shahinahmed5763 i got them off Amazon…
The sc ball joint are wider than the ex models. But you’ll notice right away when being install. Make sure the snap ring is mount it .
Can’t wait to see the motor mount video. Can you please do a video on the rear trailing arm bushings?
Thanks, yes so many videos are coming , many project 😅
Mevotech is also excellent. Sankei or Mevotech for this house for Hondas.
I’ll look forward to test one of those in the future 🙏
Mevotech on my car failed bust after 3000 mi.
Dealer told me that I needed to buy the entire control arm and they don’t sell the ball joint by itself
@zt6ty yes but they sell the bushings and I bought 555 ball joints that are made in Japan
Awesome tip!!

The best for the price goo for ctr don't missing with others
Haynes book says you change ball joint only once on Honda, then replace knuckle. Groan.
I had a bad experience using tie rod end 555, and the store wont replace, I need to sent a mesage at customer service of 555 japan
what exactly happened with the issue? Almost bought these till I read your comment
Thank you
You're welcome
How's Dorman xl? I wanna test it out before 555.
I never tried the Dorman one but pls keep me update it . What sold me from the 555 is they made in Japan
On my element sc i have bigger ball joints. MOG ball joint smaller then my. Maybe you know part number?
Yes that’s correct . SC ball joints are bigger
Zerex "Asian" Vehicles - Wow!!😮 Whatever happened to Imports
Delphi...
What is the part number for the 555 ball joint?
I bought 2 but 1 has more play than the other. Is that ok?
Why do the ball joints seem like they have no grease in them? or they suppose to have light grease only?
I think some have a plastic type socket around the ball and so don't need grease because they are not metal against metal.
They are junk too. They do need grease. All of them need grease.

How’s the 555 holding up?
So far so good
Great, thanks!
I have the 555 ball joints in my 04 Element
Nice, how many miles you put on those ball joint?
@@Element_lifestyle about 5,000
Do you happen to have a part number? I'm having trouble finding the right ones. Thanks

Moog quality has gone down a lot. It’s cheap China product now.
