xtremerevolution Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Or elcheapo Valuecraft and keep them greased with decent grease. I thought you were ASE certified' date=' that's the stupidest thing I have heard today! And I talked to my brother... Moog is the only way to go Jamie [/quote'] I agree with you. The logic that you can buy Valuecraft and just keep them greased blows my mind. Wouldn't you then by the same logic be able to keep a Moog tie rod greased and keep it even longer given the higher quality? You know what else cheap brands have aside from lower quality? Higher rate of failure. I'd prefer not to have something fail when I desperately need it not to. You can tell me all you want that your parts have never failed, but that doesn't mean that the likelihood of them failing over a Moog or comparable brand isn't higher. It only has to happen once. Suspension and steering components are not parts I cheap out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BXX Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Ive found and/or replaced more Moog parts than anything on customers cars But since majority of you have no real working knowledge of the parts and have seen the repeated failures, im just wasting my breathe. Go ahead and spend $40+ each for parts for your 10-21 year old W-body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and spend $40+ each for parts for your 10-21 year old W-body [/quote'] Most suspension parts need greasing, especially in Ohio. I highly doubt people take their cars in for scheduled maintenance to get those parts greased at the proper time intervals, hence the repeated failures. Given we're having this discussion, I think its safe to say we aren't part of that crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 im just wasting my breathe. I agree, I have no idea why we do not bow down to your infinite wisdom. IF ANYTHING, buy the more expensive parts that are made in the USA / Canada. If you don't support your own economy, who will? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Because even Moog parts arent always made in USA/Canada And I love to support my economy when I can. However, if I want a tie rod and balljoint that is American/Canadian made that I know will last, I will buy factory GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 that are made in Mexico or wherever they can get low bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 that are made in Mexico or wherever they can get low bid. Not all, but at least Mexico is still decent A lot of our leftover Gen 1 GM chassis parts are US and seeming they last well over 100K, im good with that. Now the newer GM stuff, well yeah. Not so much interested in a tie rod for example with a failure life of 50K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I always buy the NAPA chassis parts. (NCP) Its made either USA OR canada with a lifetime waranty. I figure I cant go wrong. It expensive though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I think most NAPA chassis stuff is mostly Spicer or Raybestos... both good brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Spicer got out of the aftermarket chassis parts sector 3-4 years ago. They might still have some leftover parts though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
