Which tie rod ends?

Napa chassis used to be made by Dana, and was a quality part.
I had an ambulance that the county put Napa ball joints in.
Drove it 10 miles to the shop for an alignment, and both lowers were moving.
Put Moog in it, and done. That’s why they call it the problem solver.
All metal internals on the fulcrums on Moog.
Many other manufacturers are using plastic in the ball joints so they don’t bind, and they don’t hold up.
In a heavy duty application there is nothing better, I see this stuff everyday.
You get good and bad with everything, but I’ve seen people never grease a Moog part and 2 years later it’s still intact.
The biggest drawback is cost, their not cheap.
I’ve put Moog in my junk for over 20 years and never ever wore a part out.
Now I have replaced a few things over the years under warranty, though it’s normally due to never greasing the parts.

The problem is that the Moog parts you put in your car 20 years ago were actually good parts. If you buy moog today they will not last that long, and probably won’t even be right to start with.

I have a set of moog tie rod ends I purchased a few years ago, they’re all made in the USA. All are new in the box. A couple of them are so stiff they’re hard to move, you can hear them scraping and binding when they do. The other couple are completely loose and floppy and already have play in them straight out of the box. That’s moog now.

Moog has a cheaper line called the R series and they are cheaper. Made in China
Guess which one most people buy?

I’ve never bought an “r” line moog. Even their US made stuff that’s been sold in the last few years isn’t worth it.
