Upper control arms

[tonybrooklyn]

As many of you know i converted to springs that was about 45,000 miles ago. At the time i replaced the upper control arms as well, the boots were cracked and it was close to 80,000 miles. They funny thing was the ball joints and bushings were fine. The ball joint on the right side is shot the left is starting to go. This is very disappointing as they were Moog replacements. Between these and the sway bar end links that were Moogs that failed prematurely i will never touch a Moog product again. I am leaning towards Raybestos Professional grade i can get them locally. In all honesty i enjoy Rock Auto's low prices. But hate to do the work twice, the local mechanic says. All the stuff Rock Auto sells are seconds rejects that would never make it to a regular parts store. I never thought that was true but lately i am finding it more and more to be so.
Thoughts?????????????????

Thanks in advance
