    So the threads are there for them but you have to buy them separately? Seems silly to me but hey, I'm not managing Moog.

    The threads are definitely there for the zerks on the MOOG LBJ's, they just don't come with the zerks from the factory. You can buy a package of 10 zerks at O'reilly's for like 4 bucks, and they have an assortment of different angles which helps when you need to grease them. Just make sure you get the metric version package as the moogs take either 6 or 8mm(can't remember exactly which one).

    Which brand did you replace your drivers side with 3-4 months ago?

    Just my opinion, I would definitely go OEM on the LBJ's. If you search, there are many discussions on this and other boards about OEM and aftermarket LBJ's with the large majority preferring/going with OEM.

    last december 31 i had a broken lower in my 95. For god i was turning a corner in low speed when felt like i hit a massive hole in the street and the car brakes itself. The fender was pushed back a little and now is hitting the door and the cv axle was pulled out. Bought from Rockauto lower and uppers for both sides to avoid more problems. As im far away from US, im wating the parts arrive to fit and put her running againg.

    Any known problems with raybestos? I was in a bind and the only one i could get locally was one of these from a carquest. It has lifetime warranty, a grease nipple, and its made in japan. $75cdn.
