I use Napa for that type of stuff...usually it is a Moog product which is a OEM supplier for most suspension parts

I used to buy Moog but there have been varying reports of quality issues with them, so I've switched to Spicer.

Go with Napa, there are made by Dana and I believe they have lifetime warranty, not sure though but worth checking out

Yeah, but they don't change it out for you.

Buy a good one from anybody else and be done with it.
