Get some from Rockauto. Also if they have a zerk fitting you will need to grease them, grease gun if you don't have can be purchased at most auto parts stores or even a hardware store.

I personally would avoid moog. They are a reboxer and it's a crap shoot if they sourced from a quality manufacturer this time around.
Going to rock auto I would probably shell out a few more bucks to get a higher priced item in hopes it's going to be solid quality.
I've heard Raybestos is good but I would avoid service grade and would want professional grade.
I see ACDELCO has professional grade but can't say I am familiar with their standards. If their oil filters mean anything then the quality is top notch.

ACDELCO is GM products. I have some Moog stuff that came with sankei 555 ball joints, which are supposed to be good. Beck Arnley supposedly does the same thing as Moog with re-boxing. Just make sure and order the pro line.

Yes and no, both rebox but with Beck/Arnley you have a much better chance of getting good stuff. I too have seen Moog rebox Sankei/555 stuff, which is good, but more often than not they rebox absolute junk. Also in some cases Beck/Arnley will rebox an OEM part, this is extremely common with Hyundai/Kia parts, you'll open the Beck/Arnley box and you'll find a Hyundai/Kia bag inside with the OEM part number sticker on it. Sadly I haven't seen any reboxed Honda stuff yet.

If you feel you "trust" Sankei's Three 555 Five brand, you can buy them for much cheaper in a 555 box on ebay. 555 is what Moog puts in their "preminum" line boxes (not their cheap R lineup). There are a few vendors on ebay that told me they can get me any 555 part I want if I provide my VIN#. Sankei is NOT the OEM supplier for suspension bits to Honda though. And as far as I've seen, nobody re-bags OEM/Honda suspension parts. Musashi is the supplier for Honda parts and they have no branding or markings on them whatsoever. So even if you did get a re-boxed OEM part, there is really no good way to tell.
This is why I opted to buy parts in the Honda bag instead.
BTW: There a few less-than-favorable reviews on 555 parts in some Toyota forums. Talk & photos showing a balljoint that was scratching itself up when moved by hand. Though I haven't had any trouble yet with my Moog/555 CRX front upper arms in the last 5 years. I don't put many miles on that car though.

Re: 95 civic tie rods
put in moog problem solver lower ball joints 6 months ago, problem now unsolved.
the boots are flimsy craptastic junk.
ebay 555 up next, after that back to honda i guess.
a 555 housing does not necessarily mean it's all 555 apparently.
raybestos tie rods look decent enough imho, only time will tell...
