After reading the warning about ball joints on GS MODEL from 1998-2000 ball joints, I wanna replace mine but some member reported that after 2 wks with oem ball
joints replacement, it went out on him. I know federal mogul brand Moog ball joints are cheaper but anyone has any experience with hat brand?

Please share... Thanks

The post I read about a balljoint going out in 2 weeks was on a car that was bagged.

They should be fine for oem spec suspensions. But for lowered cars you should be looking at extended lengths or extended range ball joints.

Go with Moog if you are smart. Great product, cheaper, and produced in Japan. I have Moog lbj's and tie rods for the price of the faulty oem lbj's.

Moog is awesome. I have 16k on mine and no problems yet.

i still dont understand why people still think OEM is faulty.. they last like 100k miles in a stock car. lol.. so its obviously working the way its designed to..

also, its a wear and tear item guys.

WEAR AND TEAR = REPLACE when WORN OUT.. its not a LIFETIME NONREPLACEMENT ITEM.

cmon guys.

as for Moog. lotta peepo said its good. havent had first hand exp though.

WEAR AND TEAR goddamit.

Moog's are good quality. They are probably the best OEM replacements you can get and good price.

if i remembered correctly, i read somewhere that Moog's products might even be better then OEM parts.

On a true stock suspension I'm sure OEM could last even longer than 100k. I had OEM Ball Joints until I replaced them around 140k and I am on Eibach Springs (have been for 100K). Even though Eibachs only provide an inch of drop the suspension takes a lot more of a beating than with the OEM Springs because of the upgraded Spring Rate.

I replaced my Ball Joints with OEM and I won't be changing them for another 100K assuming my car gets there.

As for Moog, I installed Moog Sway Bar Links this Winter. They have already begun to rust in the short span until now.

I know that rust on the metal isn't really a big deal and that the ball joints are what matter, but either way I would rather not see rust on a 3 month old part.

I guess my opinion is that right now Moog is fine, but I would still take OEM.

Have moog lower bjs sitting at my shop waiting for my coils to arrive so I'll chime back In after install. I like the fact that they have grease fittings. Anything that you can lubricate over its life span is a plus

Moogs are actually made by 555. If you look really closely to the moog LBJ you can see the 555 stamp
