suspension ball joints and bushes

Post by robr »

I have recently received quotes for replacement ball joints and bushes from the USofA. However, I am not familiar with the brand names provided. Can anyone advise me how they would rate the following brands: 1. Beck Arnley, 2. MOOG, 3. Sankei, 4. Mevotech? :?:

It use to be I could tell you positively what was best, problem is that lately even the best are starting to get china made parts and it is very hard to separate which of their lines have it. MOOG is still first rate with me.

Ya, in todays outsourcing and reboxing, it's tough to know what you're going to get, even when buying a name brand. Here's a link to the known bad ones:
