moog is the #1 choice, definitely dont cheap out on the balljoints, also get greasable ones

 

Thanks shrpshtr i think that helped us both out. I definetly learned sometimes it worth to pay the extra money.

 

As far as the "creaky" noise, simply spray the sway bar bushings with WD-40 or the like, if the noise goes away, replace the bushings. My 2000 D does this a lot, especially since we have road salt here. A spray lasts for awhile, but I will replace them soon as it warms up some. If I only had a garage, LOL!

I saw some of you guys said about a bumping noise, I don't really have that, but I did hear that some steering racks were working loose, might be a place to start, if ball joints are good.
