Also used Moog---no one locally seemed to either stock or be interested in ordering them either. Amazon, fitting '00 E250:

I used Spicer " Premium" ( which means they have grease nipples ) from my local NAPA ....Moog is the best I believe...I just took the best they had in Stock at the time...since I had to fix it ASAP.....

Way back when, local stock forced me to go to 2 stores to obtain full set of upper & lower ball joints. Two were MOOG the other 2 were TRW.

Now think MEVOTECH may be worth a try.

I use Moog also. I tried Autozone and Advanced Auto brand but they didn't last long. The smaller auto parts stores can usually order them if not in stock
