What year and what brake setup? I had to buy a lower for my 69 dart with 10" drum brakes, 4 yrs ago , and it was $100 a side for Moog.

The 73-76 LBJ's are cheaper than the others.

Go with Moog joints, better quality.

What brand are they saying is OE ???

I've gotten some great deals on Amazon.

Just got a couple sets of Moog LBJ for 65-72 SBP disc lowers, about $44-46 each. They are about 55 now IIRC.

I sure wish I'd have know about that. I just paid $115 for some Moog lbj's for a 65 dart w 9" drums. and that was w them knocking $10 off ea one! they were the good Moogs though that had been on their shelf for years but that's outrageous but what can ya do.
