Thanks Larry,
I have been impressed with them too and will report back to

  Dennis:

  I have been buying from True Connections for a long time. 
You will not be sorry buying from them .

  Dick (owner) is very sharp and only buys from the best 
suppliers.They come up to Portland

  2 times a year and many of the club members buy from them.

  Hi Bob,

  Thanks for the input. They tell me the True Connections 
kit is all Moog. I'm
  about to order it and report back to the list. 
Kragen/O'Reilly
  http://kragen.com/Default.aspx has Moog lower Ball joints 
for my Chevelle.

  Thanks,
  Dennis
