Remember what Tommy Boy said. "I can take a poo in a box and mark it guaranteed and all you get is a guaranteed piece of poo"

If the one has already been replaced then you only need one control arm kit and 3 ball joints.
IMO use Orielly Auto parts and make them price match. Orielly carries MOOG replacement steering componets, they are the best after market IMO. They price matched Auto Zone for $5 difference between thier MOOG and Autozones Duralast today for me. I'd paid another $30 for the MOOG if I would have had too.
Edited to add:
Ahhh, I didn't realize Advance carried MOOG too.

They might not be made as strong so they might go out occasionally.
The 150 hass very limited to few on them.
Wifes exploder had NON... zero... zelch, from the factory. I spent 2 hours under it first time I serviced it trying to find atleast one I could cram some grease in. Dug my grease gun out for nothing.

So you take a needle and use it to grease the non servicable joints w/out zerts?
What type of needle and where do you get it?

Wow Matt, that sux but I'm glad it didn't put you in the ditch. That's something I need to have looked at very, very soon. I have a clunk in the steering and the hubby thinks thats what it is.
