Moog makes the best uppers and ball joints IMHO, they are reasonably priced online and significantly cheaper than going to an auto parts store ......and if I remember correctly they have good warranties. I abuse my truck on the daily and they are still holding up strong after 2 years no complaints....

The Moog upper arms I bought for my '97 K2500 were made in Taiwan. I was disappointed, but at least Taiwan is better than Communist China.

They fit fine. My truck still had the non-adjustable alignment and I didn't change that. The eccentrics went in exactly the way they were before (except cleaned and anti-seized!) Greased...EVERYTHING while I was under there--ball joints, (4) tie rod ends, (4) Idler arm, (2) Pitman arm (1)

Of course, the bolts/nuts on the eccentrics were tightened with the suspension at normal ride-height. Some guys tighten the fasteners with the suspension at full droop; and that'll tear the rubber bushings fairly quickly.
