Default Best replacement lower ball joints?!

I recently had the driver side lower ball joint on my civic just seir off in half, and resulting in the tire turning sideways and destroying my fender. Im just curious who else this has happened to and what replacement ball joints you decided to go with and why. Thanks for the imput

Exactly the same thing happened to my civic. I just replaced it with an OEM one.

That happens frequently because no one really checks their front end.
Everytime you have the wheel off you should shake the front end and make sure it is tight.
Lots of times it is too late and that occurs.

Good to know, I was thinking MOOG and this confirms it. ya, luckly I was going very fast around a corner, and the sucker just snaped on me. WARNING to everyone else...if u hear your ***** joints squeeking, check or replace them asap!
