05 GS300 lower ball jointer
front both sides have gathered oil soil so I think they are leak. Shall I change them now or wait for some unusual sound or behavior? 148K miles.
My questions are about the greasable parts, say Moog k500101/2, Rockauto seems has error is its list. I read Amazon reviews said they are made in Indonisia not Japan any more., any body can comment on its quality now?
Detroit Ball Joints deadly cheap said 10yr warranty, any good? I think Mood is 3yr?

I have a '02 GS300 and went over 250k miles on the original ball joints. The ball joints were still in decent condition when I had them replaced as I was doing the front suspension and tie rods. They could've gone for another 20k miles or more.
If you're doing the job yourself, get the ball joints from 1A Auto. They offer lifetime warranty on their parts. If you're having someone else to perform the job, then you probably want to stick with the OEM.

Thanks for all. I got Japan 555 or Sankei with grease boots also outer tie rod, yet not replaced yet - mine leaks but still workable.
Moog use to be very good not sure now. Yet I did replaced on ABS sensor made in China, deadly cheap and very good.
