I change either upper or lower ball joint every 12-18 months!!
Now my left upper ball joint is going again!! Does moog make upper ball joints for a 00 tl? I'm never using oem again!!

I'd have your suspension checked out. There is something else wrong. They should be lasting you A LOT longer than 12-18 months.

What suspension are you on. Are you slammed? Something doesn't sound right.

1st timer

Been like that ever since I got it 9 years ago!!
I dropped the suspension about 1 1/4 3 years ago!
Everytime I doi wheel alignment they tell me everything is ok. Wouldn't they see something if there was something wrong?

Bad roads is likely the culprit unfortunately there isnt anything better than OEM out there. All aftermarket control arms are all China/Taiwan I went through Mevotech, Doorman and OEM. OEM lasted the longest, Sucks that you cant just replace the ball joint you have to replace the entire control arm!

ingalls makes good ball joints and control arms. I went through a set of upper control arms, cheap chinese made barely last a few months before the bushings seized and popped out, almost ended badly since i was driving when it happened! Iv been running ingalls adjustable upper control arms with no issues, i recommend those. also check out other products ingalls offers, ball joints, control arms, ETD.

Wrong you Can Replace the Ball Joints Only, No need to buy the Full Control Arm.
I recently changed my 4 Ball joints to MOOG, All my Upper Ball Joint where done for. Now I need a Wheel Bearing!!
OEM Ball Joints Lasted 10 Years!.... Control Arms still OEM.

Sounds like your suspension geometry is out of whack. I would go get it inspected.

It must be out of wack because even though I've aligned the wheels, my tires are all worn out on inside!

Hmm since dropping on my tein basics three months ago I noticed a "click" noise over rougher sections of the road or abrupt turns. Was going to replace upper control arm (including ball joint) becuase I figured it could be the joints. Could that be the culprit?

1st timer let me know what you end up buying as I will probably end up getting the same.

Going to check out ingalls and moog and see the they have.

As others have mentioned you have suspension issues. Compare components from side to side or to another car, I'll bet you have some accident damage or something off.
Your wheels might look straight, but at rest be putting too much pressure on the joints causing them to deteriorate quickly.

wheels are worn out more on the inside ONLY on my 17s. in the winter i have the original mags and oem size tires witch i have no problems with.
