the moog stuff is hi quality...make sure your amazon stuff isnt chinese junk...if your original ones have no play they'll last longer than new chinese ones

Re: do i need new tie rod ends and ball joints
Just because amazon sells a particular brand does not mean they are an authorized dealer for those parts. This becomes a problem for parts on warranty. For example AMAZON is not an authorized dealer for optima batteries but they sell them. If the battery lasts 6 months your SOL optima will not honor anything. The reason i emphasized AMAZON is because there are other sellers on amazon for them who may be authorized.
Im not questioning whether the suspension components are MOOG or not because that will be apparent. MOOG may even be the actual seller on amazon. Not that these would be warrantied anyways..im just giving heads up |

As long as they are moog parts I'm not concerned about warranty on a less than $20 part. If they turn out to be non genuine moog parts I won't even bother with them.

Check your local house brand and compare them...many times it's just reboxed Moog.
