That's Napa brand from the looks of it, I'm sure they're made by someone else just like the oil filters are Wix IIRC. I can get it for $89 shipped from Rock Auto but I think for a little extra, I'd rather buy it locally for warranty purposes.

Those are all moog part numbers that if you look at them and compare them with the parts numbers blackXjay posted. I used his part numbers for my search. Most likely moog parts in Napa packaging

Right I see that, same story with Autozone, same or very similar part number, branded by Autozone (Duralast). Just curious if Moog actually makes the cheaper parts or if it even matters.

I need to do this on my new jeep since I'm running 35's and my girls zj with 33's. For the Napa price in going to pick up both at same time. And see how they hold up still better than stock tho.

Just found this might answer some of the rebrand questions

This sheds some light on where Moog is manufactured but I'm curious if Autozone's Duralast or Valuecraft brands are made by Moog. I would think you're getting what you're paying for above and beyond a brand name but that's the million dollar question. With them having the same part number, they may just be from different parts of the world. Then it's a quality control game, right? In the end, all 3 parts have a lifetime warranty from any manufacture, so I'm sure If I had an issue, I'd be taken care of either way.

Nice find on the Moog info!

This thread turned out to be pretty good for a way cheaper than expected upgrade. Thanks!
