Default Ball Joint Help

I am gonna have to replace my ball joints - upper and lower both. I was looking on Ebay and was wondering if any of you have bought this system or know someone that had. I'm always skeptical when buying off of Ebay. If you know of a system that has both upper and lower that has the control arms that will match or come close to this price, please let me know. Thanks for the help

Rockauto.com

get moog ball joints. yes you have to replace the upper arm. after you replace with moog the moog arm allows you to replace the upper ball joint with a press out moog ball joint saving $ for the next time around.

Moog all the way.

Little pricey at first but like Zach said cheaper next time around.
