it is time I change my bushing ball joints and tie rods for my 02 T/A .....can anyone recommend some quality to cost products ? Im aware MOOG has a kit thats like 400 dollars :/

 

I don't think that Moog sells any pre-packaged "kits", just the individual parts. Having said that, I wouldn't use any other parts on my car. Most everything else is 2nd rate crap....

 

I assume you're talking about Strano's Suspension Rebuild Kit, which I think is all Moog parts? That one includes the rear LCA bushings, though.

You could check RockAuto I guess if you wanted to see about ACDelco or Raybestos or something. I'm not sure how many of each kit you need, unfortunately. I'm guessing 2 each of the front lower and front upper ball joints, and two kits each of the front upper and front lower control arm bushings...in which case you could get all Moog parts for around $150. PM me your email and I can send you the shopping cart I put together.

 

You'd be best off buying from Rockauto an buying them piece by piece, you automatically get a 5-10% discount off their already much lower prices and if you order it all at once shipping is nex to nothing. +1 for only MOOG or ACdelco, some Raybestos HD (onlyHD) has been good. My 383 93z has full front end built w MOOG.

 

^^^ That, get them from Rock Auto. I got all my Moog ball joints and tie rod ends from them, way cheaper than anywhere else.

I'd be hesitant to even buy AC Delco these days, a lot of their parts are coming from Mexico and even China. I just bought an EVAP solenoid from Rock Auto that came broken in box, made in Mexico, and did not say "Delco Remy" on the body like the original.

 

I hate to tell you, but even some of the Moog parts are now made "offshore". A CNC machining center doesn't really care where its plugged in......However, Moog still seems to be using higher quality raw materials and closer machining tolerances.

 

I know that. I was just stating that AC Delco shouldn't be assumed to be the best because they are associated with GM. I would still pick Moog before AC Delco.

 

Moog sells what is called a "problem solver". Last I checked Spohn sells it.

 

Me too!

 

I just recently bought all the front end parts. upper and lower balljoints, tie rods, upper and lower control arm bushings, and summit was cheaper than rock auto. plus shipping is free from summit when its over 100 bucks

 

Can someone post the part numbers please.
