Question front ball joints

Well my upper ball joints pulled out of the A-arms. Got to put them back in and tack weld them. What I have noticed is a great difference in the price of the joints. Napa lists one for 25.00 then another for 95.00 whats the difference between them?

The cheap ones are Chinese junk. But they can be had w/lifetime warranty, so if you don't mind changing them yourself you'll never have to buy another.

Theoretically, that is.

The cheap ones will break in about six months i just had to redo mine trust me go with the moog or trw ones plus they are thicker around the shaft at the ball, mine sheared off on the bottom ball joint. Don't take the chance and mess up your front end.
