Here at the later stages of a fairly involved suspension repair I reach for the new Moog lower ball joints - gonna paint them up real pretty before installation.
Then I noticed how awfully the K783 (Left) one was assembled. The swage is completely off center, out-of-round, and cracked on one side.
I've read other threads about Moog quality declining but hoped that was just a blip which they had corrected by now. Apparently not so...
What brand for an alternative? AC Delco?
Dead in the water due to crap parts yet again.
