Default Help!!!

I won't mention the corvette parts place i got these parts from.not yet anyway.i was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem.i ordered what they called a front end rebuild kit for my 94.when i got the kit,they screamed chinese junk.so i gave them a try anyway.first the holes in the upper ball joints were different sizes.two small,two larger.placing the ball joint on the a arm,the holes were more then 1/8th an inch off.there was no way the bolts were going in these holes.my upper a arm has four holes all the same size.guess i'll never learn to not buy these parts with a red star on them.so off i go to oreillys.they now have a saw at the door to cut your right arm off to pay for two ball joints.$253.has anyone ever used the moog ball joints?
So she is up on jackstands till oreillys orders the part.hate to see her that way.

Moog is a good brand. They have been around for decades.
