Get MOOG K500101 & MOOG K500102​​​​​ with 555 stamp. They are made by Sankei in Japan, which, I believe is the OEM for Toyota/Lexus.
You will need to spray some paint if you buy this. They come in bare metal without paint and get rust easy.

And there they are.

Bookmarked for later. These may be gone but there will be more.

Now one thing I did notice were grease fittings on these plus some other aftermarket brands. Do the OEM's come with grease fittings on the ball joints? I'm at work so cant look now. I sure would be interested to know if there are any points that should be greased that I was not aware of. Thanks.

OEM doesn't have Zerk grease fitting.
You better go with Rockauto. They have the Moog for about $30 each.

I think we just agreed that OEM no grease fitting and aftermarket does have a grease fitting right? It doesn't matter to me. A small grease gun and one can of grease would be a lifetime of maintenance material. Thanks.

hi Paul,
I used the Moog with zerks. Like you said, I guess it really doesn’t matter which type you use.
I tried to locate the moog part numbers I used by logging into my Rockauto account, but no luck. I suppose I didn’t log in when I made the purchase.
