Default mevotech brand

what do you guys think about the mevotech brand? im looking for a reasonable price/quality ball joint. imtrying to avoid the pricey moogs...

i got a deal on spicer #505-1104 for the lowers. i bought 2 on ebay for $30.

now im looking at mevotech #mk5320 uppers. i found them for $10, and ive seen them for around $35

The lowers are the ones that take a beating. With the uppers being relatively easy to swap out and keep greased, you should be ok. I have never heard of Mevotech though... Have you priced the higher priced brand from Advanced, Autozone, or any other parts store?

mevotech is a canadian company which stands behind thier product... ive looked into the low/mid priced brands at several autoparts stores .these are of better quality in the opinion of tech support from mevotech inc. they look fancy too they have a blue sleeve similar to spicer or ac delco
