Hey Scotty, love the youtube channel! its been very helpful and informative.
So I have a 2006 Acura TL with 239,445 and I'm not sure the ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, sway bar links, etc have ever been replaced. I've ordered the lower control arms which have the compliance bushings preinstalled. I have no however ordered ball joints because in my research, I just don't know which are the best to get. I've not done any suspension performance mods outside of 18" wheels with a performance tire 225/40/18. I'm definitely in need of advice on which ball joints will last the longest.
The best ball joints to get are OEM.

I had to replace one of my ball joints on my 1999 Honda Accord. The ball joint was fine, but there was a huge tear. I went with an aftermarket MOOG because it was cheaper. I didn’t like the quality of it. The OEM just felt better. In retrospect I wish I just went with the OEM. Go OEM.
