Wondering if anyone else has had similar issues recently.
Been using Moog suspension parts for a very long time. Ordered replacement upper ball joints for my Moog arms. On arrival, both boots were torn to shreds in the packaging. I mean one was in 5-7 pieces, and the other one was about torn in half. Thank god I checked the parts before I pulled the old joints. Weird to have TWO identically bad units. Bad batch maybe?
The rubber boot was MUCH thinner than the Moog joint I have in the truck. Maybe they’re pinching pennies and making the boots paper thin?
Thoughts?
