I forget the name of the line, but from what I understand, MOOG has a cheaper made in China line, as well as a higher-quality "professional" USA line of parts. I rebuilt the front end of my '05 a few years ago with all MOOG parts, and all the boxes said Made in USA. No problems to report so far in about two years, I guess. I re-grease with every tire rotation.

 

Rock Auto had "Economy" and "Standard Replacement" category selections but the only Moog part for my application was under "Standard Replacement." The Moog hub warranty was the best of all the hubs available at Rock Auto at 3 years / no mileage limit. Maybe there's a better Moog "Professional" part too, but Rock Auto doesn't list it for my Ram 1500. At least like I said, the hubs I got sure look great and the fit was perfect, despite being marked "China." Only time and driving miles will tell me more.

Rock Auto also had a single "Heavy Duty" WJB selection but, somewhat inconsistent with the category name, it was one of the cheapest parts and had a shorter 12 month warranty.

The driver side is now done and the test drive was uneventful. I'm not even in a big rush to get an alignment done, because I carefully marked the position of the control arm bolts and nuts and worked hard to get the Mevotech control arms back into the original OEM arm positions. The Mevotech dimensions must be pretty dang close to the OEM arms, because I didn't experience any symptoms of alignment issues at high speed, braking, straight line steering, etc. I'll get an alignment done next time I pass by my favorite place on the way to the "big city!" Best not to risk premature or unusual tire wear, given what good pickup truck tires cost these days!
