From what my local auto parts store told me they are junk. Extremely high failure rates.

The price is appealing, the write-ups by the seller are great, they look nice, but I'm still buying Moog for my car.

Here's a deal: If I ever get a Moog part labeled "made in China" I will post it. Anything other than first-hand experience is hearsay and not valid. I do not care to hear "my friend's friend says..." assertions.

You need offset upper bushings (in the front of the upper arm) for sure. I believe only Moog makes them. I've installed some cheapy BJ in the past when I worked as tech at the owners request. Many didn't last a year.
