I just redid my 83 D 250's front end; found a PAIR of very old stock MOOG inners for $9.99/PAIR and a pair of outers for the same $9.99; so $20. for 4 new TRE's.... even though I only "needed" a driver's outer TRE you can bet I put all 4 on there; as well as a new MOOG idler arm... yup $9.99. even the cardboard the boxes were made from was heavier than "today's Moog"....
but I would definitely take "today's MOOG" over McQuay Norris or Duralast (whoever makes them....) otherwise TRW used to be decent as did Dana/Spicer..... I just got 4 new Spicer balljoints for the kid's ramcharger....again via Ebay.... Made in Canada; dead equiv to Made in USA IMHO.... I despise all this Made in China BS; were our cars made there? then why should we be forced to buy parts for them, that were made there? REFUSE "MADE IN CHINA"
