In the picture, did that arm come with shipping? Cause that arm looks new. In my first post the eBay one. It comes with LBJ and the arm so it would easy to change.

In the pic is one whole ball joint. That one comes with zero fitting for grease. Put the 90 elbow on. Other wise it's next to impossible to brease when installed.

Lexus GS300 GS400 GS430 SC430 98 05 Lower Ball Joints | eBay
Is this a good deal? My car has 172,xxx miles and yes the joints been changed once at 90k.
I've been looking on eBay for the whole kit but don't see any OEM just aftermarket. My car still rides really smooth and my kids enjoy the ride. I just want piece in mind while driving and not like something is gonna happen.
I found some on ebay and here is the link:
Upper Lower Control Arm Ball Joint Outer Tie Rod End Sway Bar Link GS300 GS400 | eBay
^^^ Want a kit just like this but in OEM.
Lexus GS SC 2 Upper Control Arms Ball Joint 2 Lower Control Arms Balljoints | eBay
^^^ Not bad at all but the brand ANH is kinda odd to me.
What other site do you use? Thank you for the help CL!

In the last picture the brand's actually called MEYLE there a german company. I Bought this set from eBay and have had no issues as of yet. Oh and one other thing the ball joints are serviceable and really beefy just like the Moog brand and they come with zerk fittings. If I have any issues with them I will definitely post and warn against them but as of right now they feel great everything is nice and tight rides just like a brand-new car.

I still don't know if I still want to go with Moog. Cause if OEM is only 160 shipped and last me 90-100k miles and that would take me about 5 years, I would go with OEM lol... I don't have to buy any gun to add grease every oil change.

Huh, who says you HAVE to buy a gun and grease at every oil change. The point is that you CAN. With OEM you don't have the option. If you want you can grease the MOOGs once at installation and never grease again, but most of us like to be able to.
