Ball joint question
 

I replacing the upper and lower ball joints and the control arms in my 1969 GMC C1500. My question is: which is better TRW or MOOG?

Re: Ball joint question
 

Don't know which is better. I went with Moog on my K10 and so far no problems. Seemed pretty quality.

Moon is good stuff, never used trw tho.

If it helps, I only use Moog on all my stuff. Never had a problem with them.

I bought all my front end parts from Advance Auto here in town. Some of them were Moog, some of them were TRW. Both brands are made by Federal Mogul. I discovered that some of the TRW parts were actually Moog when I opened the boxes. TRW is the lower priced brand, so they are typically made overseas, whereas Moog is made in the USA.

Yeah, they still make parts here, but not all of them. They're increasingly relying on the foreign manufacturers to fill in the gaps. I have received some non-US moog parts for both my 65 Mustang and 67 C10, as have others on here and the mustang forum I am on.

Any non US parts I got I went back and exchanged and I now check the boxes before I bring them home.

I want to thank everyone for all of the replies. It looks like Moog got the most votes for quality so I will be going with them. Also a huge bonus that they are American made. Once again thanks for all of the replies.
