    OEM and many members here go through Camelback Toyota and get them shipped, they give good prices on OEM parts for TW members.

    Please search.... this has been discussed many times and I think we are all tired of having the same argument over and over again.

    I'm almost afraid to admit i have moog problem solvers for upper and lower but there's some amazing discussions on this if you use the search function. Basically TL;dr OEM lasted you this long so if you have the money replace with oem

    When I pulled my moogs off for inspection after 1 year 8k miles. The grease within the boots looked as if had been glitter bombed, and the balls flopped around in the socket.

    I promptly threw them away.

    This happened on two separate vehicles, mind you. $400 of one year old parts in the garbage can. I'd run anything but moogs.
