Moog got bought out by Precision Chassis. I need to replace my driver side because it makes a hard metal on metal THUNK! when driving over small (not potholes), but let's just call them "mini rolling valleys" in the road. Toyota Camry 1998 SE V-6.
+1Genuine Toyota; buy once, cry once.
Exactly, it's not worth experimenting (field testing) with anything else.If you are replacing the original, it lasted 24 years, so a Toyota replacement is probably going to last a long time.
AFAIK, Precision was a sub-brand of Cooper Automotive before the Federal-Mogul buyout for U-joints. The Precision brand has been licensed to O’Reilly for Chinese fuel pumps. Citation for Moog? The Moog brand name is too valuable for Carl Icahn and Driv to give up.Moog got bought out by Precision Chassis.
Surprisingly, I replaced it with a whole Moog control arm complete with the ball joint in it last year. I'm just out of the warranty period. Have to replace the ball joint alone. Sucks.If you are replacing the original, it lasted 24 years, so a Toyota replacement is probably going to last a long time.
I like the sound of this Sankei 555 brand. Willing to give aftermarket Japanese made parts a go most of the time.Sankei 555 brand. Recommended them for failure prone lower ball joints on Toyota trucks plus they are greaseable unlike the OEM balljoionts.
Okay, so you got 23 years out of it, LOLSurprisingly, I replaced it with a whole Moog control arm complete with the ball joint in it last year. I'm just out of the warranty period. Have to replace the ball joint alone. Sucks.
Plus one year out of a Moog.Okay, so you got 23 years out of it, LOL
Is it lifted?Surprisingly, I replaced it with a whole Moog control arm complete with the ball joint in it last year. I'm just out of the warranty period. Have to replace the ball joint alone. Sucks.
No.Is it lifted?
That's rare here. Used to always see a Chevy on the road to the dump with a wheel kicked out from a broken ball joint.My 82 diesel suburban was all original to 438,000 miles
