Does anyone here run Moog ball joints? Are they any good?
How is the quality of these ball joints and do they last?

I have a set of Moog stock replacements front ball joints on my 2000 GT. Their construction seams first rate. Compared to stock, they appear beefier. In addition include a method to add grease.

In general, they make a solid product. Much better than the cheap imports.

Note, my experience is with "street" applications.

Hopefully someone can share some more recent and direct experience (and wmburns did while I was typing this ) but Moog is pretty well respected when it comes to replacement suspension components like balljoints and bushings.

I've used them before on other vehicles and had no problems with them.

Motorcraft balljoints were only a few bucks more than the Moogs at Rockauto (looks like they've gone up a few bucks since though) so I went with those instead but I've never heard anything bad about Moog.

Thanks guys I'm really debating if I should get Motorcraft or Moog
ball joints? What ball joint would be best to get?

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Seriously, either is a good quality name brand part. But if you are absolutly looking for something to help make up your mind, the Moog is greasable.

and see how they work out.

I belive you people seem to use Moog ball joints over the Motorcraft
and the OEM Ford ball joints.I will try them out though.My car will be
going to my front end guy next week.If my ball joints are the culprit
they will be replaced with these Moog ball joints.Thanks for the help
everyone.

Go for it. More often than not, they are made in the USA and they have a lifetime warranty.

Yes I found out today that they have a lifetime warranty and
are made in the USA.
