Hello, ok so i am old school back when i was young most auto parts yea where made in america can you believe it?. well in any event i don"t know any that are made in America any more, so i have been using moog with good results until last may 22nd i bought moog inner and outer tie rod ends and installed them and ball joints upper and lower. to my dismay 1 year and 2 months later the inner tie rods did not pass inspection. I told the garage that i would do the work but that i didnt believe that they where bad because i had just done them of course he said he could not pass with the play other garage inspect 31st and it passed hmmm. I decides to check it my self by taking off the inner tie rods and yes the moog inner tie rods where shot if you hold the rod the top spins like a top and some inner play when you push on it, anyways i was shocked they where bad so soon and the first garage was right and i will apologize to them. so now the question is what is a good suspension brand to use? I am really tired of gettng all this chinese aftermarket crap. I would use Motorcraft but no grease fittings. anyone had some good experience please leave your what you think. thank you.

I like grease fittings also. But I redid my wife's Honda Accord, the only thing available at the time where joints with no fittings, and they have seemed to last just as long as the factory ones did, which is about 100,000.
