Default Mevotech steering components

Hey everyone, so im at 80,000 miles on my 2002 5.4 FX4, and i had it on the rack the other day and realized my upper and lower ball joints and are leaking grease, my idler arm is loose and my pitman arm joint is a little loose as well as my tie rods. truck is in the northwest, so control arm bushings arent in great shape either. looking on rock auto and came across this kit and thought for the value its good, warranty is limited lifetime on all parts. Just wanted your guy's opinion on mevotech. people swear by moog for these trucks ball joints and tie rods, but wanted to see if you guys thought this was a good investment. kit really comes with everything you need. thanks

I used mevotech parts often as they are the "entry-level" brand my favorite non-online parts store has.

Never had any issue with them. For 435$ it's quite a bargain.

I use menvo when moog gets expensive. I used menvo for my tie rods. I would definitely go with moog for sway bar bushings and links. Granted, if you're buying the entire kits...I'm sure menvo will be fine...but moog is better. I've had moog and menvo sway bar links and bushings. Moogs was far superior.

yea ill go moog for sway bar links then, thanks, only thing i worry about are lower ball joints, but with a limited lifetime warranty it helps, and a whole new lower control arm is nice, mine are rusted to hell, so i guess i will end up purchasing that. thanks
