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.

Re: Moog, is it worth it?
its not ALL about the SAME parts they sell..... the lack of customer service will bite you in the "but-tocks "

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.
