This would be for my wife’s CRD.
Stock suspension, no lift.
Doesn’t need JBA arms.

Looking through rockauto.com there are lots of choices.
Moog and Mevotech seem to be among the best.

On mine, I previously installed the Mevotech upper arms with greasable ball joints. They worked for almost 2 years until I actually lifted it. Six months later those upper ball joints were loose. I then installed the JBA arms on mine.

But for a stock suspension that will remain stock, what would you recommend?

I went with the Moog on both sides when I replaced them. So far so good, and that was back in 2014.

I also went with the Moog from rock auto with grazeable ball joints about a year ago and I am happy with them.

Which Moog upper ball joints are greasable?
Haven’t seen any of those on rockauto.

On Rock Auto, these are not Moog, they are Mevotech but they listed as HD and greaseable.
