I get a considerable number of parts at O'Reilly's and some from NAPA. You can get good parts from either. NAPA is going to be higher to start with mainly because they usually have a higher grade of parts. When you go to O'Reilly's don't shop price, because if you do you will get the junk you are looking for. They also have higher grade parts, and I find that their good parts are a little less expensive than NAPA. Usually at O'Reilly's if you opt for their lifetime warranty parts you get the better part, but not always so be careful there. In some cases they charge a higher price for the same part with just a lifetime warranty. I'm fortunate that I know the store manager and he is always glad to point me in the right direction.
I know most of you know that the upper ball joints unscrew on a Mopar, but I have seen quite a few pressed out and the new ones tack welded in. If you find this a new upper control arm is in order. You would be surprised at the number of reputable shops that don't know this.
