Replace the control arms, the ball joints are worn out back at 100k. You got your money's worth of use out of them.
Lemforder are the OE VERSION on your application. If you like the feedback install them. The Meyle HD have a hardened bushing in the large end that provides a little more control and feeling. On the V8 it is the way to go. These arms are cheap and a easy install so switching them is a simple 2 hr with hand tools.
Either the Lemforder or the Meyle kits will perform a transformation over the original parts that gave up their life many miles ago.
