I'm looking to replace the upper control arms and lower ball joints on my 97 Explorer. Took it into a shop for an alignment last week and they quoted me 870 bucks to do it. I found a super cheap kit that includes sway bar links, tie rods, control arms, and ball joints on Ebay, and I just...

I agree re MOOG. I got tired of ball joints and control arms wearing out, so last summer I replaced upper and lower assemblies with Moog HD series parts. Seem to be holding up, only nitpick is one ball joint threaded hole for the grease zerk wasnt threaded. I think the P/Ns start with "CK" for the HD versions.

If you go with Moog, make sure to get their higher end series. The low end is a value brand that isn't any better than the other cheap things it seems.
