mfgr - N/A , For me that says it all right there.
They don't know who made it or would rather not say made in China ?

Right , the last thing you need is cheap parts failing on you . Poly bushings and no name parts made who knows where ? Best to spend a bit more and get known good parts .
 
Doesn't look like a great price after you compare prices on rockauto and ebay. Those lower ball joints are only ~$15 ea if Mevotech brand. I bought them thinking I could make them work on my early-A's, then paid $60 ea for drum ones, though since then I got others cheap on ebay (Moog, but Chinese). I don't see an idler arm, which is usually a pricey part. I also don't see strut rod bushings, which are usually shot. Don't fool with the 1-piece factory ones. Use the Moog "improved design" (~$30 set).

I suggest buying only what you need. There is minimal force to wear an upper ball joint. Mine were fine, so I re-used with poly boots. Ditto for my tie rod ends. Why replace a good factory part with maybe inferior new stuff. My lower ball joints were very worn.
