LOL.....

OEM's are perfectly fine. One won't last any longer than the other. LBJ's are wear items. I have seen many threads of dudes snapping their oh so beloved Moog ball joints in less than a years time. There are horror stories on both OEM and Moog.

I ran into a website that sells Senkei 555 LBJ for the second gen gs.. I though Federal Mogul produces Moog suspension parts now, is that rite?

Hmmmm I wonder if moogs are good for bags... I need to replace my ball joint soon. I just slapped bags on when I got the car and haven't done anything since then. It's been a good 5k miles.
