Oficial MOOG parts from Amazon: TOTAL $99.80
Moog DS1312 $53.82
Moog ES2079S $17.20
Moog ES3096L $28.78

Autozone (Duralast Brand): TOTAL $87
Duralast DS1312 $31.99
Duralast ES3096 $29.99
Duralast ES2079S $24.99

Sometime Autozone takes parts from people like MOOG and just rebrands them. Do you think this is the case because i could save $10 and have my parts tonight if so?

I prefer MOOG personally, but I would buy the AutoZone parts just so I could have it sooner.

After reading some threads on the other jeepforum, i have decided to just go with Moog parts for all of it. Going to get a new XJ drag link as well.
Too many internet experts say bad things about autozone stuff. internet experts... geeezz i never thought i would be listening to those people.

I would go with Moog. Much better brand, Duralast is known as "duracrap" in general. Only buy it if you are in a bind and need parts fast, otherwise get the parts online and check Advanceautoparts.com because they always have coupon codes for ~30% off orders over $100

You are correct the Duralast are rebranded "Moog" I have them installed in my XJ (the ZJ ones) for 4 yrs now no problems so far. Local company with a good warranty none of the online BS.
