X2 got mine at Carquest w/lifetime. I think my backspacing and tendency to drive too damn fast kill mine. Replaced them 3 or 4 times in 6 years (about 120K).

Rent the ball joint press from Auto zone if you don't have one.

I used Napa balljoints - turned out made by Spicer. I would only use Spicer (or Napa) or Moog. It's not a job I want to repeat too often.
