HOrnbrod Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Good deal for a MOOG Drag Link on Amazon Warehouse Deals HERE. Nice upgrade for a Renix @ $25.62. Usually at least 2X this price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Says it's used... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 All the stuff from Amazon Warehouse says it's used. What it means is the packaging might be ripped, it may have a scratch, overstock merchandise, etc. I've bought a lot of stuff there and it was all brand new. Even got a pair of Truck-lite LED headlights there that were perfect in every way; $60/ea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexia Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The only time I got a bad deal from Amazon Warehouse was a SSD that had clearly been crushed between the rollers of the warehouse's conveyor system. They just did not check it thoroughly enough and happily exchanged it for me. This though, I added it to my cart last night and then fell asleep before making the purchase. Out of stock now!

HOrnbrod Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Item arrived today - condition was brand new in an unopened MOOG box. All the hardware was present and accounted for. I hope someone on the forum ordered one of these............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Any idea how different this is from the comparable V8 ZJ part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 The ZJ drag link is slightly longer and bent slightly differently, but will work on MJs - I have one on mine now. To center the steering wheel I had a problem with the R and L TRE's bumping into each other inside the threaded coupling and had to grind some off each one to get the wheel aligned. Thickness is the same, so there's really no advantage using the ZJ V8 drag link that I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I have to ask. Is MOOG REALLY that much better than the generic brands? I've been reading that MOOGs quality is going down hill. I ask because upon rebuilding this set of axles I want to go ahead and replace the steering components and replacing them all with MOOG is gonna set me back a good chunk...

HOrnbrod Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Yes, we have all been reading that also about MOOG quality - may be true or not. It's mostly posted by people who are expressing their opinions, and offer no proof. MOOG is still part of Federal Mogul, a company with a long and honorable history. I'm sure some (most ?) of their stuff is outsourced overseas because they can't make a profit by manufacturing in the good ol' USA nowadays. Hopefully MOOG is enforcing their QC standards on their overseas suppliers. I always prefer genuine NOS parts from Mopar. Picked up a set NOS of Mopar motor motor mounts not too long ago, and they were manufactured by MOOG with their own p/n's stamped on. Maybe those days are over now. Many genuine Mopar parts are now stamped made in China. The HO Mopar ignition coil comes to mind. I still use OEM or MOOG stuff and have never had a problem - yet. So to me MOOG parts are still worth the extra $$ you might have to pay for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 There definitely is a difference in quality between Moog and the discount junk. That said, is it good value with the price difference? I don't know, but for harder to change parts I feel it is worth it to avoid having to do a job again sooner. There isn't any reason that parts made in Chindia can't be good, but it is up to the manufacturer to actually have and enforce QC standards.

Knucklehead97 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'll just go ahead and save up for a quality brand then. I have had bad experiences with the generic store brand, never used MOOG though honestly. This time I shall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
