Should start a "Made in the USA" thread.

The cost of the balljoints should of been a dead giveaway that they are made overseas.

Dynatrac's are made in the USA and they run almost $600

I had to buy new ball joints! OEM was out of the question, as every OEM part i have to replace, for whatever reason, i always upgrade. There is only 2, maybe 3 aftermarket choices in my budget range. My only other choice really, was Synergy.
