I've been down that both sides of that path before, amazing how loud a wallet can speak. I've regrettably used some of rockauto's 'Better' parts myself for my xc70's, and when I worked as a mechanic at an independent shop I remember showing a customer an upper balljoint about to pop out on some explorer and they told me 'Don't worry about it, it's ok'.
Meanwhile they drive on the same roads as our wife and children. Uggh.
