    I did this with Moog and found the Moog to outlast the OEM. Possibly for the reason @Dirty Pool mentioned with design differences. I will say that the coating on the Moogs suck and turn rusty pretty quickly.

    Wrong, you can't assume they will last that long. Maybe if you are a street only rig. I was going through a set of OEM every year. I'll be on my 2nd year of Moog.

    yeah Camelback's days of being the go-to place for OEM parts is gone the way of the Dodo. The guy that headed up the parts dept for them and was active on here doesn't log in anymore and may not even be there now. McGeorge seems to be the best place now to get OEM parts

    Yeah I had ruined them when trying to remove without a pitman arm puller. Just needed a quick and cheap replacement at the moment. Will be swapping out to OEM lbjs soon

    OEM will do wonders for peace of mind though. Don’t have to check them as frequently, and make the time saved replacing worthwhile

    I used to order from Toyota Dallas and do will call for pickup. They had great online prices. Their parts website is now down, so I have to try to find a new way to get parts and save shipping...
