Which Ball Joints for 2003 Suburban?
Hello,
I need to purchase upper and lower ball joints for our son's 2003 1500 two-wheel-drive Suburban. He isn't planning to keep this vehicle for more than a year or two longer. I was hoping to find ball joints in the middle price range as he can't afford to spend $300 to replace these. I thought I could avoid getting junk by not buying the cheapest but after many hours of research, that doesn't seem to be the case.I have read scary Amazon reviews on AC Delco Advantage, Mevotech and a few others. Even Moog seems to be no good anymore even though they aren't cheap. O'Reilly has Moog for $88.99 and $101.99
Napa carries the Dana brand. Uppers are $84.49, lowers, $77.49. Too expensive. Is Dana a good brand?
Autozone offers Duralast with a lifetime warranty $47.99 for uppers. Same price for lowers.
I have read that Spicer Pro is a brand that is still made in the U.S. but that info was written back in 2013. Have found bad reviews on their ball joints too.
Someone on a forum recommended Raybestos or Keeza. Anyone know where to buy those brands?
What about AC Delco professional?
AC Delco original equipment are too expensive but would they be the best choice if money was no object?
Rock Auto offers Proforged. Upper is $37.79 Lower $38.79.. Their reviews don't seem too bad and they come with a lifetime warranty. Might go with these.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

CARiD seems to have a really good selection of ball joints for your 2003 Chevrolet 2x4 1500 Suburban to choose from. I have absolutely no connection to them, nor
have I ever worked for them, but they are/were one of the sponsors of this forum. Here is the link I found:

Not related by the same part, but I have had good luck with the A/C Delco Professional brake pads, FWIW.
