Nope.

Folks have had these (I am on a Nova forum, El Camino forum and Tri-5 forum) fail shortly after installing with minimal drive miles on them. A few have even had the studs themselves brake or being loose out of the box. Folks would buy complete arms and replace the ball joints right out of the box, since that was the failure prone part. Arms seemed to be okay.

I am not saying Moog is the only brand but I would stay away from CPP ball joints.
