Just looking for someone's experience with these, with Moog going Chinesium, this Dr Diff setup may be a better alternative to rebuilding a set. Mainly concerned with the quality of the bushings and ball joint. TIA

Nice, and they look stock, but don't know if you can gain caster with them.
Cass is known to have good stuff, not junk.
But I don't know the origin of the parts in question.
I'd suggest a phone call.

I can't say anything (for now) about them, but I'm literally getting ready to order a front end kit with the A-body control arms from Dr.Diff.

As has been said, Dr.Diff's stuff is usually pretty good.


Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Cass has never steered me wrong, but I will say, I was rather disappointed to see a set of rotors I bought from him recently were in Made in China.
Just FYI.

1933 Plymouth coupe
2002 Ram 2500 oil burner 4x4

Man...I need a bigger freakin' garage.

It's hard to find anything that isn't thanks to out greedy sobs in corporate america and our elected officials. There are companies based over there capable of making quality parts, But our aforementioned individuals seem to be driven by profit and go for the low bid frown

Well, we tried to fix that and the “Men behind the curtain” made sure China is in control again. Most of America is too stupid or selfish to understand or care what’s happening to us. Too answer the question, though, everything is made in China. We are stuck with that I guess. I did buy a set of those arms from Cass and they looked and function great. The only problem I had was the upper bushing install. Someone had turned down the bushings so they would fit in the hole with a slip fit! It was obvious. The hole was the right size but some moron did not understand the concept. It was not Cass’s fault. I’m sure he just drop shipped them. I had a new set of bushing and they pressed in fine. Cass send me a new set of bushing so all was good. He does stand behind everything he sells so no problems there.

The new upper control arms are made in Taiwan. They are good quality and a good value.

I don't know of any USA manufacturer that will produce vintage Mopar rotors. That ship has sailed.

Due to the recent increase in call volume, please contact me via Email for a timely response. doctordiff@gmail.com
