Shopping for new control arms and ball joints on RockAuto and see Mevotech and Raybestos products are almost identical in price. Anyone have a preference?

I have Mevotech LCAs. Aside from some of the paint flaking off, they've been fine.
Raybestos TREs suck. I broke half a dozen before I gave up and converted to 3/4 tons.

I purchased Mevotech parts once.....they were manufactured far from Canada, far, far from Canada
I would go with the Raybestos, they may come from Mexico? but at least they are from North America

I used Mevotech lower ball joints and so far, so good. Almost nothing is made is North America anymore. Raybestos' bearing hubs are made in China and likely their LCA's too. Trick is to figure out what is crap and was is less crap.
