Was just throwing on my suspension max end links and I noticed my driver side lower control arm ball joint is leaking pretty bad . Trucks had a 3.5” ready lift since day one and I just hit 40,000 miles . Anybody have any recommendations for aftermarket ? Are they any good ? OEM is roughly 525-700 or so . Any help would be great .

I had great luck with the mevotech TTX LCAs previously and they are about $200 a pop.

After looking more into this , I just cleaned everything the best I could and took it for a ride . Turns out the axle boot is ripped , not leaking from the ball joint , sorry about that

No worries. Ive replaced only one side without issue, that said if its because of the ball joint chances are the other side isnt far away from the same issue. Might save you money doing both and having only 1 alignment done.

Good luck
