Review on Motorcraft MCF 2233 Lower Ball Joint by Virgilio Patton

So I am very picky when choosing replacement parts for my cars. I do the work myself because I don't yet have to meet a quality mechanic that I can trust. So I usually try to get genuine Ford or Motorcraft parts to make sure they're genuine. But those ball joints were a mistake! First, they do NOT come with a castle nut and cotter pin! For real? Can't even turn it on? Half price ball joints even include this. Well, two of those ball joints were destroyed during installation. You might think it must be the installer, right? Yes, me too. What went wrong, I asked. But you see, different presses and different cup sizes were used to get the right fit, and the ball joint lip was still curved. One even broke! Reminds me of Chinese steel. After two disasters, I decided to go with Moog. Wow, there was a huge difference! They are of much better quality. Moogs used the same tools the same way, no problem. It was an expensive lesson.
