But i didnt open the box till lastnite and saw that one of the boots is really soft then the other.. and the one with the soft boot u can move both joints around with ur hands ur not suppost to huh? Bcuz the one with the tight boot u cant even move it around with urhands. So ima go exhange it for another moog balljoint wat u guys think.

yeah, the joint should be very tight. if you could move it easily by your hands, then that is not a good sign. even the small sway bar endlink joint is very tight. Need to exchange that for sure, you dont want to take any chances.

Did you install new ball joints in the OEM upper control arms?

Yeah, Moog also makes an adjustable upper ball joint for replacing into the control arm.

It'll give ya more flexibillity when tweaking the front alignment, especially after lowering.

Got Raybestos Adjustable Professional grade from Amazon. Free shipping. Helped keep my camber in check after I lowered it with the Eibach suspension kit. Tech who installed it said the OE ball joint was pretty easy to press out.
