Arcadian

I've been chasing a squeak in the front susp for weeks now. I put in lower ball joints about a year ago (on spec due to recommendations here). I replaced upper arms and the noise quit for a week then was back worse than before. Lexus dealer said lower ball joint is bad, so i replaced both sides.

Issue: the LBJs that were changed were Beck Arnley from Rock Auto, so, while Rock Auto is great to deal with, don't buy the Beck Arnely LBJs!

The upper arms I had put in are Raybestos from Rock auto, so, now I'm worried they will fail soon too.

I hate buying aftermarket, but here in Canada Lexus parts cost 3X what they do in the US.

After having learned my lesson, I'll try Sewell or Carson I guess.
