these are the best ball joints you can buy for the price, the only ones better would be the rebuildable types for $200/each. these are unfortunately made in China, but every single one is engineered and QC checked here in North America, in Canada. This is Mevotech's top line ball joint, they make an entry level, mid-level, and heavy duty. do NOT buy the entry level joint, the mid-level and this heavy duty joint are the best. at least Mevotech tests their ball joints ! these are better than OEM in the serious safety issue respects, such as pull out force. they are far stronger than a factory joint. I bought them for a Dodge Dakota, and compared them to the oem TRW-made joint. the Mevotech is metal on metal ball joint socket, stronger than the TRW metal on nylon/plastic joint. The Mevotech will give more at first until break-in, then holds that one clearance for a long, long time. while the factory joint will quickly wear out. even the best $200 ball joints will wear out in less than 100,000 miles if the bottom joint is load bearing, it's a wearing part just like bushings, brake pads, tie rods. the goal is buy a grease-able joint and get the most life out of it as possible. I found old stock Mevotech for only $20 each and free shipping- need I say more ? about half the price of the top end Moog joint. the Moog joint is basically the same but with an inferior boot and cotter pin and finish.
