Rock auto is one of the cheapest places. Moog makes good ****. If you don't want to pay for it, there are cheaper options out there. So either buy Moog, or something cheaper, and quit yer bitchin

Good God. Let me save you some money. Good money at that.

I have a coupon code for Advance Auto that is 30 off 100, or 50 off 150.

Split your order up to where it's just over 150 each time. When y6ou get to checkout, enter coupon code VISA

I just saved you a grip. You're welcome

Order online from advanced auto and use a coupon code.

It may be cheaper to do 2 or 3 orders.

Always gotta be keyboard gangster with a slick *** answer on tech. Damn, it wasn't me this time. LOL. No bitchin' here just thought I'd seen cheaper prices posted for that combo, which I did. No point in paying $424 for something I could get for 284.00. If you like paying extra for nothing, I got a couple dreams I could part with.

I always order online. I just ordered a energy suspension TQ arm bushing and it was only $14 delivered. I figured their sister site for Moog would be as cheap. Ordering online and coupons make more room for other stuff .

I ordered some Moog stuff for my front end, but chose Raybestos for some also. I couldn't stomach the cost of Moog vs. the competition on some items. Plus I was doing a refresh and the front end was fine, just had 100k on all of it. And, Quit Yer Bitchin.

Speaking of MOOG, Carquest stopped carrying MOOG, said they found out MOOG was starting to outsource stuff to china like everyone else. Said stuff wasn't as good as it had always been before. So be careful. Anyone else hear this?

Same discussion over on the jeep forums. Timken VS Moog, most of the discussion was regarding Moog outsourcing to China.

Outsourcing of MOOG ball joints from Mexico, is why I sent them back. I bought Raybestos Professional series ball joints, which are still USA-made.
