Default Lesson learned

Well I learned two things just recently. Been trying to build my car cheap skate style so used parts were a must. I bought a used moser rear axle thinking I would be money ahead only to now have more into this axle than if I bought a new 9inch its still at the rear end shop and probably will be for another two weeks. secondly moser sucks hairy beesys period. how aere they still in buisness? is there that many uniformed customers out there?

Please share as to why? I can see anyone being mad if something they buy needs more to fix than to replace but how much and what are you talking about?

You bought a used part, and you are mad you're dumping money into it? Its used. How is that Moser's fault?

That's why you make a list of parts before you buy things so you know how much everything will cost. But like 99tara said I don't see your reason for blaming moser you bought the used parts always do your research first
