Generally I prefer the PST Polygraphite kits, no issues when installed properly

I recently bought a set from NAPA I was told they were MOOG brand. They showed up in Napa boxes but said Made in USA.

I have also heard Summit Racing is a good place to get MOOG as well as Rock Auto.

moog quality has gone down hill in recent years due to out sourcing of product line. i now look else where for suspension parts. i can't make a recommendation as i have yet to make up my mind on a reliable brand name.

i hate the overseas stuff, it doesnt last long, even in the not used too often older cars

forget about the new cars driven alot, all that overseas suspension stuff becomes a regular maintence item to change.

funny because of the retailer who is having the part made required them to make it better, they would. they seem to last in the new vehicles

After a few sets of Moog's I bought from Summit fell apart in my hand when removing them from the box, while I was trying to replacing a previous set of Moogs that lasted only a few thousand miles; I gave up on Moog. The first set were well greased too. Absolute garbage!

These latest ball joints seem to be holding up well, but I've only got less than a few thousand miles on them. They shipped out of Texas and were similar in price to the Moogs. I'll do a long term update when I have more miles on them.
