We've went to Mevotech supreme. Years ago we tried them first in one of our second gen Cummins snow plow trucks and they lasted longer than Moog. Then my 70 challenger that also had Moog prior and so on... We have a local company Fastundercar that stocks most everything we need and close pricing to rockauto. But the Rock has everything. Agree on Mevotech being a good choice. Moog is garbage now , it's coming out of the same southeast asian factory as duralast ... at least the made wrong control arm I got for my 98 ram 2500 2wd did ...
running up my post count some more .

moog has been junk for at least the last 15 years or so.......... has anyone used proforged parts ? as to the mevotech brand, i have used several of their parts in the past, and was pleasantly surprised at the fit and function of the items. these were used on my caravan [the "bus"] and have been on for several years now, without a problem.

There may only be 1000 miles on the Cuda and the upper ball joints are loose, I bought the complete sets from Mancini, New control arms with Ball joints and Bushings in them. Im Getting ready to buy the Suspension parts for the Bee, and I honestly plan on driving this car coast to coast, dont need any junk parts on it. Who sells a good ball joint now a days? Kasey Loose or Sloppy? There's a difference. Any ball type joint will loosen with even mile usage.

PhillyRag Im a 22 year tech for chrysler, Not to sound like that guy, but I know a loose/sloppy ball joint when I see one. When the top of the wheel move in and out 1/4" its a junk part! i heard a rattle while cruising around town hitting side street intersection transitions, and I raised on my lift in the shop, and honestly was quite disgusted!

OK fine: you did your homework and sounds like they are bad.
