Im about to order my CV axle from Summit since i have a a discount code on my account from recent purchase plus free ground shipping and was thinking about ordering new upper ball joints at the same time since mine are tore. They have 3 brands but I am only familiar with 1, Moog. The other 2 are AutoExtra and Mevotech. Anyone have any experience with the other 2? Moog have usually been decent products but figured Id ask for any personal info on the other 2.

I believe I have Mevotech tie rods, and they're doing fine so far, changed them about 25k ago.

I have Mevotech LCAs. The bushings and ball joints in them seemed nice and beefy. The welds looked good as well.

I'm also looking to buy upper ball joints and i was interested about Mevotech , i saw they are made in Canada and they look good ..
I found them here :(http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/2003/c ... joint.html) ,cheaper than Summit ! From there i bought a manifold and they shipped it in the same day ..
