Gen-1 front suspension parts

[lonestarjeff]

Time to replace control arms, lower ball joints, & maybe end links on my 2000 XLT. Anyone have negative experience with Moog parts? I will likely buy from Rockauto.

BTW, the sway bar end links & bushings started rattling a couple of years ago, so they're already done.

Moog overall is fine. Be sure to buy their better problem solvers, not the bargain line. Moog like others these days, aren't the quality they used to be. That said, their greasable parts, which is everything as far as longevity. Be sure to grease the new parts with the proper grease after installing. Moog lubes them from their factory, but I like giving them another shot or 2. Type LB is the recommendation for ball joints/ujoints by the way good luck.

They moved manufacturing to Mexico. I purchased Spicer years ago because they’re made in ‘Merica.

Afterwards I replaced w Motorcraft.
