i found some at orielley's think it's called "master" they like 25 for the upper and lower set, never heard of the brand. the bad part is the tool i need to rent will cost over $200 at orielley's. i'll check out napa tomorrow thanks.

I bought all 4 uppers and lowers spicer ball joints from knowwheretojeep.com for $120 with over night shipping

Can't really beat that. Doesn't really get any better than spicer either

When u get the tool get it from advanced auto. Its almost $200 bucks but you get the $ back. It has the angled cup that you need to press the new joints in properly. The autozone kit doesn't
