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 got the moog part numbers from rock auto since you can look up your car and get the moog part numbers, then go to mibearings.com add the XRF prefix to the front of the moog part number on their site and viola their site will allow you to buy it online, quantity counts paypal etc.

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.
