duralast ball joints vs moog

Mibearings.com has all the ball joints , and the 11/16 inner and outer tierod ends. Except the R/H passenger side lower. Prices were exellent there too. You have to use the moog part numbers with the XRF prefix to look them up. Example a large mopar upper ball joint 73 up A body moog # K772, would be a XRF K772.

I contacted XRF, explained i still needed the XRF K781 ball joint. Mark at XRF gave me the phone number of a supply house in Garland Tx near dallas. Closest to me. They had one XRF K781 left on the shelf. I bought it.

Since the supplier sets their pricing it can be way different from store to store if you buy them from different sources to get a set. Mibearings.com had the uppers, and all the tie rod ends for $11 and change each, and the one lower for $22 and change, plus shipping. I felt like i was scamming them getting XRF parts from them for autozone prices LOL. The place in garland tx wanted $43 plus shipping for the other lower. A price i gladly payed since i got the other XRF pieces super cheap.

I believe XRF also has the idler arm and pitman arm for A body mopars too. I am going to go with a fast ratio setup which requires C body pitman and idler, so its more cost effective to buy those as a set from PST. These arms dont take as much wear and abuse as the tierod ends and balljoints anyways, plus i only use a synthetic grease in my grease gun.
