Default Duralast Parts for TRE Upgrade?

Anyone know if Duralast parts are the same as Moog but in a different box. I have read mixed stories on the web about this. I am trying to do XJ/ZJ tie rod upgrade. BTW, if you go to their website they do not list any suspension parts such as tie rods, etc.

Yes they are Moog. And they just updated to a new system.

I know other opinions differ but I have always had pretty good luck with Duralast brand. I don't know who makes them but they work.

Moog makes them. And you can't beat lifetime warranties.

Duralast gold is made by Bosch.

I know that this isn't on topic for this post but I used to run a daily newspaper route for my state-wide daily. I ran @ 85 miles a day and @ 120 on Sunday. I have been running the same set of the Duralast Gold+ ceramic brake pads for going on two years now. A newspaper route has a LOT of stops and starts and there's still plenty of life left in them.
