The time has come to replace my passenger side UCA/Lower Ball Joint. Did the drivers side last year and it was a piece of cake. I am looking at the Moog K80068 one-piece UCA on Amazon for $72.99, which says pending "Pending Supersession to CK80068". Whenever I pull that one up, the fit guide says it is OK, as well as Moogs website, but my problem is the picture on the CK80068 on Amazons site shows a completely different arm design, no way it will fit my ST. Was wondering if any of you had ordered the newer one from Amazon and actually got the correct product? I'm hoping it is just a bad picture, as it is about $20 cheaper.

Thanks in advance,

Much as I love Amazon's pricing and shipping, never trust their fitment guides and pics. IMO, no better than RockAuto for accuracy. The Moog Problem Solver "CK" Series supersedes the previous "R" Series and should also be forged steel. Avoid the service grade "R" Series that is weaker stamped steel with non replaceable ball joints.

As someone who just ordered the CK80068 from Amazon, ignore the picture the show. It's wrong.
