Agree with the weight from big block gassers and diesels, but say to factor in how you drive

That part mainly slow speed in parking and tires


That wears mine out the fastest....along with off roading

Ben is 100% on the money.

Moog "use to be" really good stuff. Now it's China junk. This comes from 5 or more friends that are in the tire/front end business. Sad but true.

Moog parts are made by Federal Mogul and are some of the best parts you can get. For the last 40 years they are used by all the Nascar teams as the are provided for free in return for them running a Moog sticker. We use nothing but Moog and FM in the shop and never had a failure. As for alignment shops they will sell you anything they can to make money. I had one customer take his 55 Chev, in to an alignment shop just to be on the safe side after DW curbed it hard and alignment tech told them whole frontend was worn out. He was really embarrassed when I showed up with owner of car. We put it on rack and called manager in. EVERYTHING in car was 1 month old and was not out of alignment. He no longer works there. Beware of Autozone and Advance cheap line of parts.
If you doubt about Moog and Federal Mogul all this info is on their website.
