Im suprised they even listed ball joints from GM...it usually was you had to buy the WHOLE control arm since it comes with a new ball joint.Didnt think GM ever sold them as individual pieces...never heard of that anyways....Anyhow,moog,ya cant go wrong with it.Never had any problems with their fit and finish.

Try Rockauto.com they are reasonable and usually have them in stock. I have a pair of Moogs to go in the top now, but am waiting until I get a new pair of bottoms too. Figured I do it all at once.

Paul - thanks for the info - I didn't know Jeff wasn't our contact anymore. I bought new upper & lower ball joints & tie rod ends from Jeff about a month ago. That plus new poly bushings made a definite improvement to the '89's handling and ride. Also made for a long day!
