    Unless you’re doing a 2” or greater lift, I’d go with OEM. You’re not gonna find any knock-offs as quality.

    That’s what I thought I can’t find it without the entire control arm

    That’s exactly what the dealership told me last week. Over $400 each

    I opted for buying Moog greasable upper ball joints,which have yet to be installed. They were around $30 each

    Altrom/555 brand at Napa is Japanese aftermarket and are often OE parts. These are available as just the ball joints without the control arms.

    Check out Rockauto.com. You should be able to find Moog and other decent brands and you can get just the ball joint if you want.

    I’d get OEM lower control arms. They’re offered all the time on here by guys who change out suspension for lifts. Usually great prices, $50 - $100. Way better than Moog (2nd best) for this.
