      Iv'e been using moog products in my shop for years based on the idea that they are a higher quality part made to meet a higher standard. However, lately, I've been experiencing early hub assembly bearing or ABS sensor failures as well as extremely inconsistent construction with the control arms and ball joints. I purchased this product based solely on the idea that it would be a greasable ball joint and to my disappointment it was not. I also purchased the "C" series control arm for the other side which was also non-greasable. Not sure what's going on with Moog parts but check them very carefully if you use them. Seems to be below the standards that I'm accustom to receiving from Moog. Most likely will be discontinuing the use of their products in this garage.

      Replaced BOTH upper control arm ball joints with this product. This is the Driver Side (hate right or left descriptions depends which way you're looking and inaccurate) when I ordered it was told wrong sides for both items but replacing both anyways. First time trying moog, will report later on. Having the joint greas able makes sense and the better quality was not much more, provided they last longer like Michelin tires do, you get what you pay for! Shop around on pricing because prices vary with discounts etc you will get different prices. Looking forward to seeing how they last! Had to order and wait a couple of days to get. This is not a fun thing to do on my weekends replacing parts for a safety inspection.

      Replaced both upper control arms. Bought the "C" series expecting to receive control arms with greaseable ball joints. Neither were greaseable. The standards in Moog part construction seems to be dropping and my customers are the ones who will suffer for it. Will most likely be discontinuing the use of Moog parts in my repair shop.

      Replacing BOTH control arms with ball joints. This one is for the passenger side. Decided to try a greaseable ball joint should last longer. Will report back on how item lasts later on. Item was not in stock had to order and wait a few days. Check on pricing delivery etc you will find prices vary with discounts that you get will save you some money. I believe you get what you pay for and have found that is true for tires when buying Michelin you pay more last a lot longer. I had to replace all ball joints driver and passenger for safety inspection so I am trying the Moog greasable ball joints...looking forward to trying. Doing myself after getting high quotes with generic cheapest in stock parts from local part store that I was being charged double for, so now I can select the quality not get stuck with the cheapest in stock double the price game.
