I just ordered a set of TF Ball Joints for my Gladiator, but now I have local Jeepers telling me I should have gone with something else! Did I make a mistake? I liked that they have a Lifetime warranty, rebuildable and honestly trust and like TeraFlex!

Nothing inherently wrong with them. I had them on my JK and had no issues and will buy them again for the Gladiator when the time comes.

When it comes time for my replacements I’ll go with Dynatrac or TF. Do your own research and rely less on opinions. There’s tons of info out there. Many folk are fanboys of something because that brand may have a cool sticker.

Well said, I think for the type of wheeling I do and what TF offers, it will be just fine. I have replaced everything but the Tie Rods, Drag Link and Ball joints and I hope the BJs help with a shimmy I have at around 35-55mph. Everything else is in spec and I have had a couple alignments, its help alittle but might as well rule the OEM BJs out.

I didn’t think teraflex ball joints were rebuildable, only adjustable, Ive had them on my jk for 60k miles so far, they need to be adjusted but I can’t get it to move, probably gonna switch to dynatrac because of being rebuildable

We have the Teraflex ball joints on our JKU. They are rebuildable. At least that's what I was told when I bought them. We don't have many miles on them yet.

I also just bought their new upraded Ball joints. Don't worry, They have a good rep.. My stock ones are still good, but, with 44K miles and lots of wheeling, I figure the time is coming.... and I do not want to find out they are all out of stock again when I need them....

Note: Teraflex seems to have great R&D, and they are in the right area to test.. Look at the Falcon Adjustable shocks that took the industry by storm.... I absolutely love mine... 25K hard miles with lots of off-road and they are performing flawlessly. The adjustability that you can really feel is awesome.

The new TeraFlex JL/JT Ball Joints are rebuildable, the ones for the JK are as well but the TF made several changes to this version.


The gladiator in the Geo Wrangler have the same axles
