get the moogs, they say their ball joints can withstand a 90degree turn at 180mph.

Sam (Stranoparts) usually stocks them. Probably some other sponsors as well.

If your rack is leaking, replace the whole unit as mentioned above. Moog is sold at most Auto Parts stores, I wouldn't be hung up on getting them though, any replacement will work fine.

They will work fine, but the Moogs will last longer. They are also greaseable via a zerk fitting, I'm not so sure about the cheaper alternatives.

I have used Moog parts several times in a couple of my cars. They are good parts, but like I said, if you are having ahard time finding them I wouldn't heisitate to get another brand.
