lower ball joints

When doing the brakes yesterday I found the passenger side lower ball joint boot was ripped. Looks to be about $50-60 to replace from online suppliers. Should I go OEM from St. Charles or is there a good aftermarket option?

I got the Sankai/555 'japan' brand ones from drivewire.com they have grease zerks :) I know alot of ppl praise Moog for their parts and Moog uses 555 to make alot of them.

I have to replace my lower ones again eventually (the hardest ones of course) because the shop that did my LCA bushings ripped the boots pretty bad.

Thanks. Moog was the only brand I recognized. This looks super easy on my 4X2. 5 bolts total.

Hopefully yours come apart easier then my lowers did. I broke 2 pullers and smacked the hell out of it. Finally had to get my turbo torch from work, heat the hell out of the knuckle then beat on it with a pickle fork.

Right. Getting it out of the steering knuckle is a different story. I'm hoping for one well placed smack with a BFH.
