Default Front end parts,,Moog or A/c delco

Hi, I am looking at replacing some of the drag/center link and idler arms on my 97 B3500 van, just looking at Rockauto, and there’s a large price difference between Moog parts and some of the other suppliers,A/C Delco, etc..., I did some research and Moog is very well respected from the online community, just wanted to ask if it’s worth the extra $; has anyone used the others and happy With Them? , please let me know, thanks,,,

From my research Moog has gone downhill. I personally now use Napa chassis parts and they seem to hold up. Mevotech on Rockauto I had luck with also.

My Moog lower BJs and tie rods have been in there for 70k miles and holding strong...6000lb Conversion Van.

I just used Mevotech on the upper BJs that they really tightened up the front. Time will tell how long those will last but they seemed to be quality.

Hello all, I used moog parts on my front end rebuild for my trans van, big frigging screw in ball joints! Everything works great so far!! Ok but........................I used heavy duty moog ball joints on my 2000 Jeep tj lifted on 35s and wasted them in about 3 years!! Replaced the moog ones with factory Dana spicers and work great, all the Jeep guys say use factory ball joints
