Moog is probably the best ball joint.
Axles, depends what parts you need.
Seals, loads of quality suppliers.

With all avoid cheap unknown Chinese junk, it may be a nice price but changing the same parts every year soon gets annoying!

Is my daughters KJ. Had/has knock in front end. When I drove it out to where my buddy has a hoist it never made a sound. Up until yesterday it was knocking bad at low speeds sounded like the passenger front. Ball joints are fine.
Also has a gas leak on one of injectors, needs break pads. and rear sway bar the boomerang looking thing. Breaks i replaced when I first bought KJ, so these ones only have about 60 to 70thsnd K on them. Probably going to change the CV Axles seems like the only thing that makes sense. Everything else appears to be tight?
Some brands I'm coming across are; TrakMotive / Mog / Dorman. Breaks; Perfect Stop / Bosch. Rear cntrl Arm with Ball Joint; Dorman / MecPherson / MevOTech / Dorman.

Any of these Brands of poor quality that you know of?

Bosch and Moog are quality, I'm not in the US so the other brands I don't know.
Front end knocks are usually ball joints or anti rollbar mounts. Mine had a bad knock from a loose upper wishbone bolt, the previous owner had just changed them before I bought it, guess that one didn't get torqued!

CVs: Napa reman seem to be the best, new ones can be the wrong length
Ball joints: Moog is good
Rear upper control arm: they're all junk except Mopar, pick the one that's easiest to warranty
Seals: they're all okay I think from a known brand
