I was putting on my new Koni shocks and I found my upper ball joints
were worn out.  This was very disappointing because I just replaced them
only three years ago.

What's the current status of ball joint quality?  What brands are
available other than Meyle?  Does anyone recommend one brand over another?

What about front control arm bushings?

I'm sure others are interested so a few replies to the list would be
helpful but I would also appreciate pmail responses.

Thanks,
Ed McLean
