I also thought that they are ok,but i just wanted to hear this from you guys who knows these cars(340/360) better than me.

Since the MOOG is a brand of Federal Mogul Corp.,then it can't be bad.

MOOG ball joints & tie rods

What is your experience with this brand for ball joints & tie rods?

I came across them in my local part shop and the salesman said that the MOOG is made in England.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Spare tire location

...why would you want such a conversion?

I don't,but i bought the car with this conversion.

I believe that original 340 chasis was bad & rusted out,so the previous owner just bought 360 for parts and installed 1.4 engine in it.
