i've had very good luck with moog chassis parts so far. it actually looked a little stronger than oem, had a better boot design and was slightly oversized to compensate for wear. knocked it out of the knuckle with a 10lb hammer with 2 blows. set the new one with the same hammer and a piece of wood. then used a ball peen and some paitence to get it flush. cost for labor = 0. moog ball joints can be ordered from the right advance or summit racing.

I shouldn't need to.. although I do see I need a new tie-rod end as the boot on that is cracked open.. and I just got an alignment, they should have said something.

Oh well.
