IIRC Moogs are the best you can get. I've had the cheapo's from Advance on mine for a year and would not recommend them to my enemy. The bolts barely lasted a week and one of them failed within 3 months :noman: If you get them at Rockauto they're a good deal.

I have some trw bjs on my tgp, pretty happy with them so far seem like they are well made. I've had the worst luck with autozones duralast crap.

Moog = Mexican shit now. Dont waste the money.

 

If you wanna spend the coin on $$$$ balljoints, get TRW, or the top of the line Raybestos ones.

 

Want any balljoint to last a good long while, use quality synthetic grease, and give em a squirt or two every oil change.

 

Last I knew, my Valucrap ones on my old 96 CS have over 60K on them and still nice and tight. Maintenance goes a long way.:thumbsup: And the car isnt driven like a grandma, at all:lol: Ask Venom, he'll tell you how it gets driven.

rockauto has some ACDelco ones, i'd hazard a guess they'd be some of the best?

 

Seeming the OEs tend to last the longest as far as ive seen, I would say yes. But I wonder who makes them? Prolly Federal Mogul?

Ive had fantastic results with MOOG brand. After mine blew and I almost lost my car I decided to buy the most expensive ones available. The moogs are nice because they have FINE threaded bolts and greaseable joints. The fine threads are nice cause they dont seem to unthread quite as easily and for some reason the nuts are hard going on all the way down as if they are not the correct pitch (Which makes them hold on better.) Im sure cheaper brands would do just as good but i'm not taking any chances. Moog ftw.
