You know what's funny...We just did suspension refresh at the parts store and all our parts went from a TRW box to a MOOG box and jacked up the price. Same parts as before just now have a different name

I don't like moog, I've had very bad experiences with them.

I replaced mine with TRW and OEM...works the best, and 13.99 for each lower...can't beat that! So far they have done me well, one set was 30k miles, and I have 6k on the new set...no noises or torn boots yet...unlike moog.

The cheaper ones are hit or miss. Some have grease fittings, some do not. I buy TRW from autozone and they all are greasable, and the boots can be replaced.

110 for both is cost, I would jump all over that!
