Mevotech. its a Canadian compay, so I figured it would be better than the cheap crap from China or Mexico. Guess I was wrong.

Doesn't matter where they are made, as long as they are Moog. Moog contracts manufacturing at factories all over, but the parts are built to Moog specs and quality standards. Unlike some other brands where the part is built to the manufacturers specs and thrown in 50 different store brand boxes.

lilpoindexter · 03-10-2013, 07:35 PM

I bought them from Summit in 2010, it cleared my purchase history, so I can't pull up part numbers and what not.

I saved for months to buy all my Moog stuff. As lame as it sounds, it was a big deal to me.

Maybe I should have wallet sized pictures made up of all my Moog stuff to show to people I meet.

I'm a huge fan of MOOG too but I have to share this. A friend of mine retired from MOOG as a rep and one day we were having a conversation when he asked me, "You know what MOOG stands for right?" Being the ever curious individual I said "no, what?" His reply to which I spit my root beer out laughing was "Money our only goal!" He was a character.

many thanks for this thread. Moog or AC Delco is all that goes into my front end. Learned that from my dad - used to take his 50,000 mile tires and run them on my cars for 30,000 more. Good parts and a good alignment improves safety and saves money in the long run.

**rs74** · 03-13-2013, 09:07 AM

Just make sure all your parts are the same. I just got two different ball joints and they were Moog.
