Unanswered: Are these ball joints alright?

Does anyone know anything about these? I have stock suspension and am in need of new. These seem to be cheaper for two than GT source is for one. Will they work?

Thanks!

Sorry, this might help...They are tie rod ends. Not ball joints.

I would go to your local Napa parts type store. They got the correct ones.
