Default D30 2000 xj 4.0 4wd upper and lower ball joints

I have 166k miles and am slowly replacing all front end consumables.... I picked up a set (upper and lower) ball joints marketed by rugged ridge but manufactured by Omix-Ada/Alloy USA. They are greaseable and have the angled fitting to ease greasing. My question: I know MOOG are what to get but they are pretty pricey. Any negatives that anyone here has had with these Omix-Ada Ball Joints?? Not planning any hardcore off-roading. Thanks

Look I know this is a boring thread but I got a great deal on these ball joints and so it's not just a matter of a few dollars difference. I just don't want to use known junk parts. Anyone have any experience with em ??

Omix-ADA has decent parts. They may not be the best you can buy, but they will work just fine.

I got all 4 ball joints from rockauto for what Napa quoted me for 1. They were on sale though... I think now it'll run you about 130 for all 4 shipped. And yes that is for MOOG ball joints.

The factory didn't worry too much about what they used, I wouldn't either.
