North240 is an unknown quantity at this point
The hiem joint with the zerk fittings (grease fittings) are junk for automotive use and not designed for this appilacation. You will end up replacing them inside of a year especially if you car is driven in the rain/snow/crap weather or in other words DD and not a show car.

Buy something with a teflon joint and good welds, it is a fairly integral part of your rear suspension and there is no reason to replace a perfectly good and strong OEM part with something that is crap. Just my .02, might as well save up for the rear deal.

The new powertrix line seems to be much nicer, teflon joints+ beefier welds and still not as pricy, its worth a look if your on a budget.
