New susp. problem

I have finally found a new creaking sound from the front end of my 05 300c w/87000 miles. I had just replaced the torsion arms and the outer tierods, when within 2 weeks a new sound coming from the front end. It drove me crazy, every time i would gently accelerate or turn very slowly i would hear the sound. It took me two weeks to finally find out that the upper control arm, left front was grinding at the body mount bolt. i then checked the right front and found that the boot on the ubj had a tear in it, so now i have to replace both. Here i go again working on the front suspension. Parts are about $200 from dealer and online i found both for under $200! Has anyone ever used Mevotech, i prefer to use moog but cant find them.

i dont think moog sells the upper balljoint, just the lower.
both of my boots on the upper ball joint are torn, and im driving fine, other then it driving like a cadillac, floating all over the place(shocks/struts blown)
it will eventually cause a problem, but if its its just torn it wound make a sound, but it will shorten the balljoints life, which leads to clunking.lol

replaced front struts last year with KYB after wife jump RR tracks in the dark. Replaced rears last month with matching KYB along with rear swaybar endlinks. For a long time i was thinking the strut or the strutmount was problem.
