OEM or are there better aftermarket options?
I have a 2002 4.7 SXT Durango 4x4 with 145k miles.
The thing squeaks like crazy! And I noticed that when taking a corner the truck seems to wobble a bit and also noticed some abnormal wear on the tires.
I need to have both left and right lower control arm bushings, upper control arm bushings, upper and lower ball joints both sides, and both front axle seals replaced as I noticed a little seal leak on the driver side seal.
Where's a good site to order these parts from?

+1 on Moog parts. Don't bother with cheap balljoints, especially if you change out the lowers. The labor isn't worth having to do it twice.
BTW, I haven't found lower control arm bushings yet for 4WD, only complete arms with bushings. Upper bushings are available.

I am in the same boat as you. I was considering Moog BJs but in my research I have found out that Moog BJs are no longer of the same quality they used to be. I read great things about XRF joints on pirate4x4 and I think I will be putting those on my car.
