Yes , the Moog will cost you more , in the short term , long term , they are indeed cheaper . One yr warranty VS a lifetime with Moog , no brainer . Moog , TRW , Spicer , those are the names you can trust , no one else .

BTW , I cheaped out on my Jeep , 2 months after and the uppers had 10x the play of the originals I replaced , unbelievable , since replacing with Moog 5 months ago , still tight as new . This is one guy who will never skimp on the frt end parts again . Don't learn the hard way like me ! Also , my 95 Ram has 4 new Moog ball joints from the PO 2 yrs ago , also , still perfect

Be careful some of the ebay parts are China junk, I would go Moog on everything you will spend more but if you plan on keeping the truck it will be worth it in a couple years when your driving and not changing parts and paying for another allignment. Just my opinion

You pay a little more now, or a lot more later. In other words the cheap comes out expensive in the end.

Well I'm not coming out a penny. He just wants somethings done around the house and call it even "barter". Already replaced 3gates, pressure washed his deck and sealed, fixed some fencing, next is painting a door and painting his shutters.
