ball joint replacement time

[jeeeep]

have over 90k miles on the JLU and will be replacing the ball joints as soon, after searching for axle shaft upgrades and finding nothing for my use (spicer was months out on delivery), I had decided to replace u-joints while I had everything out.

Well, thanks to Disciple Offroad and this post making my Jeep life difficult...

I'm now on the fence on whether to upgrade front axle shafts now or later, I don't wheel as much as I would like to but, this year is my "dammit, get out and wheel" year lol

I don't know what my question is, I think I just need a push off the edge or as I like to say, shit or get off the pot

I mean, if you don’t think it’s a must for you right now for the wheeling you are doing or lack of, than I’d say no rush and spend money elsewhere. But than again, stock is lame

So is this a balljoint question or axle shaft question?

Go ahead and change them. If your luck is like mine it would break out in the middle of nowhere with no one around.

If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

It's just money, whatever is left when you die the government steals.
