I would go with Moog, they are a great replacement. Whatever you do don't buy the cheap ebay crap, as they wear out within a year of mild off-roading. If you have an Advance Auto Parts in your area, buy the ball joints online and use the coupon code TRT30 it saves you 30% off the cost. You can pick them up at the store if you choose that option; it saved me a bunch of money as i just replaced all the ball joints in my Blazer. Be prepared to have fun cutting or drilling out the factory rivets from the factory.

I have read that raybestos hold up better than moog recent, Was reading that moog started having their parts built in other places than they used to... just what I read and heard.

Never had a problem with "Federated" or "Dorman", as long as you use Moog ball joints. The joints that come with them are el cheapos and last for about a year, no grease fittings.
