I know it is an old discussion. But I am totally confused by the conflicting information that my search brought up.

I need a set of ball joints, upper and lower. Which vendor would you recommend to me? Moog or Rare?

Rare Parts are USA made replacement parts.

I am re-seller, so let me know what you want and I will quote them for you.  depending how many things you need, I will do for 20 to 50 over my cost.  There is a quite a bit of margin in their list price, so option will be a lot less.

David, sounds interesting. However, it seems they only have one front ball joint?

Moreover I would like to know member's opinion first. I am not decided yet between Moog and Rare.

Ball joints for 1961-69 are the same on all RWD.

Moog via rockauto is less than 1/2 the cost of the Rareparts.com site.

Now, if you need those camber eccentrics, Rareparts is the only source I know of for new.

Thanks for all answers. Another member wrote me that Rare retails Moog (front) ball joints. I did not know this. I considered it to be rivaling products. Therefore I will use Rockauto to source them. Concerning the other items made by Rare I will examine what else I need and come back on it, David.
