There's another problem in finding quality front end parts.
I had the cheap Chinese FCP lower arm go away fast in my 850, they supplied
a common soft hex head threaded bolt instead of a machined hardened steel locking pin, and slop developed fast as the lock pin mashed.
Then FCP sold me a Meyle made in Turkey and that crapped out fast with bushing
failure. The Moog Replacement seems to be more of the same junk. The bottom line is maybe stick with OEM ball joints and cross your fingers that they are maintaining quality standards.

It's not a big deal to replace the control arms in the 850, Not sure how different your S60 is.
