Beware of cheap imported ball joints

[ubtripn]

I actually bought Moog components for my truck and 2 turned out to be bad. I asked and it turns out (says the counter guy) that Moog sold their name. Bought the NAPA part and it was MUCH better so I don't know. I do know that quality seems to be going down on everything. A name is made then sold and the quality is lessened. Another example - went buy a Carhardt after my 20 year old one was given by my son. The new Carhardt, the exact same model and it was just lesser material, not full brass zipper, thinner canvas. We have to examine everything this day in age.
