Gathering parts for my front-end rebuild, and I would like some input on different Brands. Spicer Professional Grade(Blue) and MOOG in particular, but anything else would be helpful.

-Upper/Lower Control Arm Bushings
-Upper/Lower Ball Joints
-Tie-Rods & Sleeves(11/16")

It seems Less is More when it comes to the SEARCH feature.
I found this after a few tries.

Not a huge fan of JustSuspension, but if what they sell is Spicer Pro Grade, thats the way I am going.

Raybestos Professional Grade is SPICER Professional Grade (or vice-versa)

I have been buying the most expensive ones I can, or old stock. Last MOOG lower BJs I used were junk and wore out in 10-15k miles. Spicer pro is what I have used lately and they seemed priced about right (>$50 for a BJ) and looked better in quality.

Be carefull, about Raybestos branded parts, other then brake parts. I bought a Raybestos brand front whee drive bearing/hub assy. It was Chineese made piece of crap. I called Raybestos about it, and was told, they have nothing to do with it. They just licensed another company to use the Raybestos name.

Charlie, thats about the same thing they told me, but the Pro Grade parts were made by specific US companies(SPICER in the case of suspension parts). I was trying to find contact info. for SPICER suspension parts and the driveline division rerouted me to Raybestos??? I checked all the parts I received and they look well made, we'll see how they work soon.
