I noticed that as i drive over bumps my front suspension creaks, now it also does that when i turn the wheels while in park. I have seen the pictures of people who have lost their lower ball joint and dont want that to happen to me so i am going to replace them. My question is what are the best joints to buy, i really dont want to buy the factory ones again because as we all know they give out (in my case after 8 years/79k miles) thanks guys
Ball joints are maintenance parts anyways so either way you're going to have to replace it down the line. I plan on changing mine out every 80k miles. Currently I'd only trust OEM balljoints. Plus the price difference isn't that dramatic ($30-40 a pair?).

OEM for sure they arent expensive considering how important it is.
DO IT ASAP. Your symptoms are exactly what i had a couple weeks before balljoint failure on the road while driving! I was about to enter the freeway in a couple minutes too, if it happened there... dunno if id be posting right now.
