Eeek! I know the feeling, still recovering from knee surgery.

I didn't have good luck with Moog but YMMV, and they are cheaper (but not when you wind up replacing them with OEM like I did, also from rockauto). Greasable was nice, as they started to wear and make noise (literally within 5k miles of mostly on road) I could grease them and it would quiet down for a week or two (and it wasn't from a lack of initial greasing). Maybe I got a bad set but Motorcraft has lasted 20k already and no play, that's what I would go with.

Motorcrafts are $46 on rock auto, mooks are $25. Its worth $21 to me to not have to do the job over in 20k miles. When a job is as much of a pain as ball joints it seems reasonable to go with the better quality part.

I agree, I have always used oem bits for stuff, except I recently did the Gates serpentine kit.....no intell on Mevotech?
