The Parkerizing technique is a Phosphate etching process that produces a hard Matte or Dull finish that is both very Durable and Anti Reflective and with excellent oil holding properties.

I looked up parkerizing on GOOGLE search and it looked like it was usually used for guns? A few posts said it is pretty much obsolete? Is Moog really parkerizing? I'm not remembering any special finish on the front end parts I installed. But hey, it was interesting reading about how to parkerize. I'd never heard of it either.

It's that dull black finish that Moog uses, Dorman use to or still does use the same thing. I looked at some Fed Mogul/ TRW tie rods that had the unfinished cast finish. They looked good but my Moogs are parkerized.

I'd go with Moog or AC Delco.

On older MB diesel cars' balljoints (sure, its a totally different beast), the moog balljoints had only about half the grease inside that the TRW ones did... And MB parts are ungreasable.
Dont know if this makes much of a difference though. JMH Last edited by JHZR2; 02-26-2004 at 03:03 PM. |

JMH, you're post doesn't make sense. I think you mis-typed.
Welcome to the board too.

Moog is American and Canadian Made
TRW Suspension is made in Brazil and others.... But I have used and sold both....no complaints about either one... O'Reilly's ADC brand is American made also. |
