I bought a Moog locally, and its a well made, beefy item. Lifetime warranty, IIRC.

I think I'm going to go with iron rock off-road. Good luck with that one if you get It. Please let us know how it turns out I'd LOVE a cheaper option!

I priced 'em from Napa, Autozone, and Advance Auto here locally and IIRC, they varied from $55-$135. The Moog was ~$100.

I'm leery of the really low priced stuff, probably made in China. The Moog was either USA or Canada.

Likewise the highest price doesn't necessarily mean better. For example, Napa had one for ~$65 and another for $135. The difference was one year warranty vs lifetime warranty. Is the lifetime warranty Napa worth $35 more than the lifetime warranty Moog?

BTW, my '96 Sport has almost 160K miles and still all the same steering parts and track bar! Yeah, it wasn't off roaded.
