Moog, is it worth it?

I went to a couple parts places and got prices for a lower ball joint.

Duralast $20 w/2yr warranty

Autozone Cheap Brand $11 w/1yr

Moog $30 w/Lifetime.

Is it worth it to buy all Moog if I am unsure how long I will keep the truck? Consider all the parts will need to replaced as well.

Doesn't Autozone sell the very same parts you get from other stores?

I see. Considering all of the Autozone stores around here are stocked with high school junkies, I stick with the tried and true mom and pop type shop up the street. These guys know everything

Re: Moog, is it worth it?

I beg to differ all of my front end parts are from Autozone and they fit correctly and where of good quality. Before my restore I replaced all of my front end componets with Autozone stuff about 10-12 years ago and when I took it apart the ball joints were still good and it was my highschool truck I beat the crap out of. What people don't understand is alot of this stuff is made at the same place and just packaged different, thus WIX/Napa etc.

Re: Moog, is it worth it?

I see some of yalls points. I have used autozone and will continue to, only because the guy behind the counter has a 69 and 67 c10 and knows quite a bit about the trucks. Also, this store has great customer service. I brought back a part that was already opened and was missing a bearing out of it. They gave me a new one no questions asked. I am going back and forth between the duralast and the moog.

I don't know how long I will keep the truck. It is not for sale, but if somebody offered me money I would sell it.
