Has anybody replaced the Cognito upper control arm ball joints? I replaced mine twice in one year, wtf???
 
This time, i will be replacing it with Moog Problem Solver K6292.

I replaced both the upper ones last year during the ARB Rally. That was the first time I had replaced mine since I had installed my Cognito Upper Arms 5 years ago.

I installed the MOOG upper ball joints from a K3500...I will have to check the part number.

I carry two spares now. I really beat mine hard during the rally and I stretched both of them!!

Ordered 2 from amazon.ca for $32 each free shipping, beats the Cognito warranty return shipping.
 
Can't find the Moog Severe Duty SD692DM here in Canada anywhere.

Yes, they are pricier than Amazon, was just seeing if these are the heavier joints

Thanks Roy, for the life of me, i can't find Moog SD692DM anywhere even on Moog website except this store. Could it be just a K6292 rename part number especially for them?
