just wanted to get a last opinion on OEM ball Joints and if they are worth it to replace. Ive been told by a few people that they you feel a significant improvent in steering response. i checked mine out the other day (didnt really examine them to the full extent that i could have, but they seem to be in fair condition)
i found front joints online

but i am also going to call toyota and see if they have any in stock
i am leaning towards toyota oem rather than the other (OEMquality) listed on the site

ALWAYS go with OEM for stuff like that. The aftermarket parts are sub quality.
Check partznet...

They are located next to norristown. Ask them to match the internet price for you (or just tell them you know me..(depending on whos working the desk)). Its a lot cheaper then what your local dealer will quote you.

edit... i just checked. Its 41bucks each.

thats why i was leaning more towards toyota replacements. could i just call. b/c i am going to be away from home for the next week and i need them the week after.
is that for just one? or is it for a front set? i guess i could call and ask...then have them match the price

edit: im am gauging wether or not i feel like installing that b4 saturday

just buy moog

I've seen a bad experience with moog strut top mounts, I would personally stay away from them.

OEM is the only way to go.

Stuff like that IMO is always going to be better when it's OEM. Def not something you wanna mess around with. Some parts on our cars are fine if they're aftermarket, but some things should just stay OEM.

i would STRONGLY suggest otherwise.

T, while your there, have you replaced sway bar bushings yet?
if not, theyre like 6$ ea, and make a BIG diffrence if theyre worn.

new bushings come with the sustechs. so i got that checked off.
