    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    Then yours arent trash parts. But a large majority of the far cheaper parts are by and large, at least in my opinion. Maybe one part was made in a different china factory and with better material and standards at one point in time than later models or different parts. A lot of these brands make stuff that will (usually ) fit or match their replacement part, usually with "same" or similar design. But thats all their going for.

    Its just by and large easier to pay a little bit more than pay multiple times.

    Again; I dont fault anyone trying to not get ripped off or do what they can to get their vehicle back working. But a lot of these parts/brands that are substantially cheaper are hot trash.

    I am a huge proponent of OEM arms. But those TRQ arms I installed on a GX470 I owned. I knew I was going to sell it so I didn't ball out. They were good quality and my friend ended up buying the truck. 40k miles later and still zero issues. Heavy off roading. Sometimes you get lucky. I would trust them over Moog at this point.
