..First I know there are a number of posts/threads about this but I am making a new one instead of replying to 4-5 and making them current.

My VX is getting another overhaul, this time some suspension parts and a muffler.

Super 44 Flowmaster will be installed Monday.

I need all 4 ball joints replaced.

1. (Tools/difficulty) I havent decided if I should do it myself or not. Seems like a few have had problems getting them off. For the ones that have tried, did you struggle with using only the long fork or were you using/used the separator tool that you wrench? I replied to that other post about the $200 tool that quickly does it but before the post had planned on buying the harbor freight version.

2. (Source/Quality) I normally buy from Advanced Auto Parts for their quality and price (always a coupon code somewhere for them). I can get Driveworks cheap then Beck Arnley as well ($72 for all four Driveworks). However there is this kit on Ebay that includes tie rod ends: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Suspension-S...fff10b&vxp=mtr

I think it was Tri that replaced with an ebay kit, any issues with them?

Thanks in advance
