Ok, here's the poop.

My car has 8200 miles on the original ball joints (car #2932). Steering has always felt loose and every little bump would shake the wheel. Not to mention the front end vibration at 65-70 mph that could not be eliminated by any balance method (on or off the car).

So, installed four of the mid grade ball joints form Cobra Valley and the car feels like it should have from day one. Steering is much smoother. Bumps seem to be damped better and the 65-70 mph shake is gone.

I did have the car realigned and the fronts balanced while on the car after the installation.

If your steering feels sloppy and jumpy, get the ball joints and dont look back. Well worth the expense in my opinion. I've been fighting this front end for two years. There is a solution and the ball joints are a work of art compared to the stock joints.
