need to do lower ball joints go with standard or meyle HD ball joints?

so my car is squeaking when i turn, and hit bumps, looks like my lower steering knuckle ball joints are the culprits. gonna do both and be done with them.

those who have done them which route did you go?

the standard lemforder 211-330-04-35 ones or did you opt for the meyle HD 2113300235MY ? are the HD ones that much better and last longer compared to oem?

I can't vouch for Meyle but I can vouch for going HD over stocks. I went with Moog HD on my Escalade & hoooooly crapper!!!! The Lade is no AMG but steering was very snug & tight after install(wasn't too sloppy to begin with either). I was getting a slight pop on a slow sharp turn from drivers side so I did upper/lower ball joints & both tie rod ends. Well worth the extra $ IMO

so the HD ball joints are stiffer over the normal ones? Do the HD ones have a longer life span as well? surprised that there is little info on them on the forums.
