I used to think that Moog was THE brand to use for front end parts.
What happened?
I'm rebuilding the front end in this car:
I ordered a front end rebuild kit from PST but I'm using up some of my NOS stuff from my stash first. I messed up one LCA bushing installation and needed just one.
My local NAPA stores have quit selling Moog parts. They are selling off what they have left in stock and going with a different supplier.
I went to a Car Quest and their clerk directed me to an Advance Auto Parts where they had a LCA bushing, so I bought it.
At home, I opened the box.
Are you seeing what I am?
The damned thing is offset from center.
What kind of crap is this? (Made in India) I am using the offset UPPER control arm bushings, I don't need offset lowers. I returned this for a refund and bought this:
Made in America.
There we go!
It sucks to see an icon fall from grace.
