    Probably left the same factory in China in different box. Pick one with a decent warranty? Mevotech

    So I love Napa stuff. Never had an issue with their stuff. Imo if you go Napa pay they extra and get the premium version of whatever part you need.

    the base brand of thier lower control arms from Napa looked cheap and I wouldn’t use them/ once again just my opinion and experience. I’ve heard hit and miss things on MOOG suspension parts.

    From my experience the uniball set up does not last as long as an oem LCA/LBJ and require more maintenance vs the maintenance-free OEM design. For a daily driver it doesn't make much economic or logical sense.

    They are a lot cheaper to replace . I was getting 1 season out of my oem lbj's I'm on my second or 3rd with my unaballs. I also spray them with lube after every wash they seem to be doing pretty good.

    I think he said it was on accident in his post.why he didn't delete it or change who know. Maybe the 3rg gen section isn't as knowledgeable as the first gen section
