Default Balljoints + Tie-rod ends: Does OEM matter?

I know I'm going to have to replace some combination of the two in the front this weekend, don't know yet. Would these parts be just as good from napa etc?

sure. Some people are **** about OEM only parts when in most cases they are simply buying mass market parts that are rebadged with OEM names.

Which side do you need? I've got a driver's side OE one that I don't need (my passenger side is the bad one)

If you need a passenger side one, I have a brand new OEM tie rod for the passenger side 4G.

I got some tie-rod ends and ball-joints from suspension.com and UCAs from worldsuspension on ebay and they have all been great.

None were Honda...

wow guys, worldsuspension.net is damn cheap. good stuff

As far as something like the uca's though, it's a big chunk of metal and is obv very important. Would you still be confident with aftermarket? Anywhere to get just the upper balljoints?
