I can only second oldskewel, as I used Lemfoerder parts. Make sure the inside of the knuckle is free of rust and clean. PB or WD40 the hell out of it then copper grease the backside of the ball joint housing and the lugs where the torx slot through. Lets be safe on this one as its about to have 2 tons pressing it in until I have to change it out and likelyhood is it will be stuck in there like last time even with all my prep to make sure it doesnt. I need to switch my arms out as I want to install Powerflex blushings. Means that I will have to take off control arms and I am not so sure that I will not damage the ball joints so I am getting a couple of them from Europarts as they have a sale on.
