Hi all,

A quick PSA, I know this has floated around in the past, so I figured I'd bump the topic back up.

For those looking for the backordered 555 lower ball joints, Autozone has them under part # SB3812.

As others have mentioned they still come in a Duralast box, however they're still the 555 stamped part.

Use Save20 and you'll get 20% off and free shipping. Cost me basically $70 each after tax.

Good find. The tough one to find remains to be the upper ball joint. I'm currently wondering if I should just go with the nitro set or not.

I carry the 555 upper ball joints if you need them =)
 

$99 shipped for a set currently have 2 more sets left for upper. PM me if you like a set. Usually stock lower as well, out for now, plenty on the way soon. Thanks =)

Replace as needed or is this a "do it by xxx miles"? I have 245k on WC, small tear in one of the boots but no signs of any issues, how long can these things possibly last?

As long as you have no play in the ball joint you are good. But take care of the boot otherwise the joint will be gone fast.
 
I Checked with him first, told me they are on national backorder.

We've got them all back in stock if your still in need!

Uppers, lowers or combo 4-packs!
