A while back I read in one of the forums of a fellow who installed Moog (lower) ball joints in his pickup (IFS) and the alignment was WAY out after install. He recommended OEM or made in Japan units. Anyone with similar experience? or maybe he had the wrong application units?

His alignment was probably off before the new BJ's were installed. If the old BJ's the vehicle could have been aligned to compensate for them, if the tech didn't do a complete inspection before the alignment.


More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
