I recently acquired a 2004 "Edge" and am starting on the process of catching it up on some deferred maintenance. Many of the suspension items (1 upper and both lower ball joints, one tie rod end) need to be replaced.

I've seen some 10 pc or more kits that come with most of what anybody would need. If I go that route, am I getting quality or is it barely acceptable junk? Even if "barely acceptable," is it actually acceptable for me--I'm going to be a relatively light user. Dump runs, bringing stuff home from Home Depot, occasionally relieving one of the daily drivers when they need a day off for maintenance. That's it. No off roading intended. It is NOT a daily driver.
So is something like this is OK? I’m hesitant just because it’s less than some of the individual parts from Moog.

I want to do this right, but I don't want to outfit it for combat if I'm only planning to send it on milk runs.
Any specific recommendations are humbly appreciated.
If it makes any difference, it's 4WD with torsion bars.

I like cheap, I just am leery of going too cheap. I have now seen complaints about the Detroit stuff, and wonder if anyone has any suggestions on what would be a better kit, or what components to order separately (still keeping budgetary concerns in mind). Clearly, it doesn't need to be $100, but I don't really want to spend $400 either. Unless I really have to.
