Best ball joints?

[RobbieD]

I'm looking for advice or opinions- what are the best replacement ball joints? OEM Ford or aftermarket? What brand of aftermarket is best? The truck in question is a 1994 2WD, and thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Moogs as well.

Napa carries both the Mougle and the blue boot kind. The Mougles are a little less expensive and the blue boots are quite a bit more. I'm probably going with the Mougles because they looked solid (made in US) and I couldn't justify an extra $20-30 for each ball joint for Moog.

Thanks, ya'll. I know that back in the day, Moog was a good brand. I'm glad to hear that they still are ("Made in the USA"), so I think I'll go with Moog. Really appreciate all the input.

I guess a good rule of thumb, would be that if it's made in the USA, it'll last longer than those Tiawan, and china BS.
