Moog vs Mevotech endlinks

[Zagnut]

As I stated, I bought the Moog problem solvers. They have the white bushings, Made in USA on the box, and a lifetime warranty.

My point was not to denigrate a quality part by stating things that weren't true. Nothing more.

And I understand that. Never meant to imply otherwise. Seems you got the "good" ones that were initially released. The others that appear changed just look cheap, and well, I wouldn't put them on my vehicle. If they were like the ones Moog has on their website, and RockAuto pics, I would've gone that route.
But it seems they switched manufacturing processes at some point, and they don't look well made.
I worked in CNC making engine heads...bad looking parts are never promising. Sounds like you got lucky with the good original bushings.

On a side note, the Mevo TTX I used seem pretty decent. Just wish I knew what the bushings were made from. They're quite hard, so hopefully a urethane material.

Hard isn't necessarily good. FYI, the Moogs I got look just like the current pictures on Advance Auto (that's were I bought them). They do look kind of meh even when you handle them. However, I'm banking on it is advanced engineering analysis that allowed Moog to take out material where it wasn't needed to minimize cost. They are pliable, but firm and are doing well for me. Good luck with yours!

Fortunately they aren't expensive and easy to replace. The Moogs just have a horrible "cheap" look to them. I'm all for weight reduction. I'll give these Mevo TTX a try for a while and check them in 1k or 2k miles.

Hard to give a good opinion when every darn bushing in the rear is dry rotted. Have my work cut out for me.

Well, it is almost a teenager!

Ugh...let's not even go there! The 8yo stepdaughter is already acting "almost like a teenager".
This is why we call our cars girl names... they're temperamental, have attitudes, and throw us curve balls at every confrontation.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I refuse to comment further due to self-preservation tendencies!

Nothing wrong with pleading the fifth my friend!
