    They came out of the box ready to go. I bolted them in and then drove to the shop to get the alignment corrected.

    Camburg. But any of those will meet your needs. BTW, Camburgs look cooler.

    I ordered mine from carparts.com. I think I paid about $80?...something like that... But yeah, you cant go wrong with that combo. The Moogs are greasable, unlike LR, so they will last a lot longer too.

    just reading this article on another forum. About moog being shitty

    http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=380892&page=3

    I just got quoted $499 for built rights, from the truck shop. Does any one know if built rights come with stainless steel uniballs? I live in the snowy, salty north and dont want pitting and rust.

    Dont know what to buy..

    And...?

    I could also find threads saying that Tacoma's are shitty, would you agree with those threads too?... Hell, there's threads on TW about people not being happy with Built Rights, so they must be shitty too huh?

    Get my point? ;)

    This is the "power" of the interwebz.....
    One douchebag on some forum, who doesn't kow his a$$ from a hole in the ground said his Moog tie rod end "rusted" <tears>.
    Now another says "I'm taking Moog off my preferred list."
    I thought sh!t like this only went on at Tupperware parties. :rolleyes:

    The US vehicles run on Moog. The brand has been respected since before dirt.
    Many of their replacement parts come unpainted.....PAINT THEM ! (or not)
