You said you wanted OEM. This is not OEM. You get what you pay for. (for the most part)

I've had 555 (made in Japan) ball joints on my 4runner for about 35,000 miles and they are still tight and strong. My wheel actually got hit by a bus last week and it still drive straight and is fine. 555's have a grease fitting so they can be greased, however, they do not have the black coating that prevents surface rust. 555 is fine, they usually cost the same as Toyota OEM. If I had to buy LBJ's again I'd get Toyota OEM but the 555 brand is a fine alternative.
