My car has MBARTS arms, but I don't think they're in business anymore...
That being said, I'm currently in the process of rebuilding the hiem joint on them. They were probably some cheap, bought in bulk, chines joint because they've started making a ridiculous noise.
I'm going to go with aurora joints WITH some sort of joint boot covers.
(full disclosure, besides the noise they've just developed, they've been wonderful until now and alignment has been great with little to no rear-end wiggle when accelerating hard from lower speed)

Gunnz, here's what my MBArts look like now.
I know the previous owner went through two pairs of the heim joints. I think i'm about 2 years onto his second pair and they're creaking pretty bad.
Here's the one that creaks which is on the wheel side:
And the one under the car:

I have been running front K-MAC bushings for nearly two years and rear bushings from for just over a year. I have been happy with both and I have no squeaking.
See link in my sig for an install guide.
