Default Replacement Ball Joints

Prices for replacement ball joints are quite varied. :confused:
Can you guys help me select a good combination of price/quality for a 1987?
Thanks for your perspectives.

Get in touch with 18carfan, Jeff Kopp. He is a wholesale parts manager for a Chevy dealer in Kansas. His prices are better with shipping than any of the local dealer before sales tax. The added benefit is that he knows what he is talking about and provides fantastic service before and after.

I heard most of the american made cars contain ball joints from TRW or Moog. Not sure how reliable the resource is, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
