Upper control arms and lower ball joints

[Franknfike1]

I will be replacing the upper control arms and lower ball joints on my 05 Explorer. Should I go Motorcraft OEM or is there another brand in the same price range that is better?

Have you looked into Mevotech?

Thanks for you reply drdoom.
No but I just did after I saw your post. Their products are about half the price of the Motorcraft items. How's the quality on Mevotech parts?
I just bought my 05 Explorer that already has new upper control arms but they squeak and creak so much that I need to replace them with something of better quality. There is no way of identifying the ones on there now.

Frank I only have their upper ball joints (greasable) and so far they are excellent. Another member recently used the same parts you are needing, try searching for the thread.
