What good is a lifetime warranty when they don't even have the parts on hand, or even a reasonable lead time on the parts?

Probably going to take a refund from Teraflex and apply it towards the Rare Parts ball joints...
I'd say we're probably rollin' right up around the time that if there are gonna be more common issues with these TF BJs, gonna start seeing them a bit. They've been on the market long enough now, and enough people have installed em and have some miles on em we might start seeing more commentary trickling in. I think you'll like those RP's much better. I had an old buddy that put them in so am familiar with them. Those guys stand behind their product too.

TeraFlexis a dependable name in case of the ball joint and many other car parts. Through R&D, it offers a ball joint kit that ensures comfortable rides for a long time. With a handful of necessary features, the kit is amazing. I have a good experience.

Which ball joint has the play? If it is the upper, then yes it should move up and down. The upper is just a follower joint. The movement is controlled by the lower. I have these in both of my Jeeps and have installed several sets in other Jeeps.
