duralast ball joints vs moog

I have had nothing but problems from Autozone's altenators and starters. I won't put one on if you give it to me. The hosue brands from most part stores aren't any better either. AutoZone's batteries are made by Johnson Controls which happens to also make WalMart's batteries and many, many other brands.

For the most part import parts will never hold up to what was made here in the USA. Every good company that goes to China seems to have quality issues from the time production starts. Once a companies USA made products have been depleted you will be buying China or import parts from another country whether you like it or not. Everyday there is a few less in the market. Be cheap now and pay out the nose later if you can still even get USA made parts, do the labor twice and pay for another alignment.

It is like Vice Grips, I bought up enough of the 5WRs that were in the yellow and black boxes to hopefully last me the rest of my life. I even have at least one in the orange and black box. Try taping a China made pair of Vice Grips with an American made pair, you will be shocked at the tinny sound that the China one will make.

There is a reason that these two pair of Vice Grips with some rust on them brought $99.00 on eBay, quality that is no longer there in the new import ones.

Used American made Vice Grips are selling for more counting shipping than what you can buy China Vice Grips for new at a retail store.
