I’ve had zone upper control arms for about 4 years 30,000 miles now with no issues. One of the rubber ball joint boots is cracked and leaks a little but that’s it. Leveled on 35s. Zone ball joint replacement should be good enough. However there is a cross reference chart somewhere for the compatible replacements. I’ll see if I have it saved and I’ll add it

Zones ball joints have warranty so they will send you new ones. But normally it’s improper installation or the installer didnt put grease in the ball joint.
