MOOG ball joints & tie rods

Post by misha »

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.

Isn't he the guy from MightyCarMods? Never heard of them, probably some non-descript company.

Actually, having looked into this further, they are a brand of Federal Mogul Corp. (along with Abex®, AE®, ANCO®, Atlas®, Bentley-Harris®, Beral®, Carter®, Champion®, DURON®, Fel-Pro®, Ferodo®, FP Diesel®, Glyco®, Goetze®, Metafram®, MOOG®, National®, Necto®, Nüral®, Payen®, Poral®, Precision®, Sealed Power®, Speed-Pro®, Wagner® Brake, Wagner® Lighting)

They would appear okay to me. (I've at least heard of/used the brands in bold)

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.
