ball joints: what brands?
I've searched for recommended ball joint manufacturers and haven't found any. I've narrowed it down to Moog (the most expensive but hey, it's good enough for NASCAR), TRW (made by Federal Mogul who also owns Moog) and Perfect Circle (which I know nothing about). Would like to know what you all have used and had success with.

That's what my alignment guys use on their vehicles. And, I use on mine.

Moog are the best!!
And they only cost $4-$5 more each.. Money well spent.. I've had to use TRW's before and sometimes when you check them after installing they will have a little play..(yes I use a press) We all know when you get a little slop the will hammer themselves..
Beware of TRW parts in Moog boxes.. Just a little heads up, Moog parts say "Moog" and have a gold plate where the grease serk is.
