I am in the middel of getting parts to to the frontend rebuild. I have got all moog parts except tie-rod ends and when I called the parts store for them i s*** . The price is high $54 for the inner $64for the outter. Those of you yhat have done the rebuild ,did you use the moog tie-rod ends or will the cheaper do the job? Thanks

 

I actually used the Napa NCP parts - and they were slightly less - but very nice parts and many here say better than the Moog - I paid $59.29 for one, and $44.99 for other (don't remember which was which). Napa part numbers NCP269-2612 and NCP269-2613.

 

Napa has two lines of parts. There are the lower line, and the upper line. NCP is the upper, more expensive line and the lower line is actually Moog stuff. I havent used or even seen either parts but many on these boards say that Napa's upper line, the NCP parts, are much better than the Moog and well worth the higher price.

 

Yeah - kinda my point - the higher end Napa parts I got were actually cheaper than the quotes chevyowner02 got for the moog stuff.

 

I think the Napa here told me they carried DANA<--- not sure on spelling but I can get a discount at NAPA SO you are saying NAPA's top line is better than MOOG?

 

From what alot of folks on here say, yes they are. The part numbers with NCP are the upper end Napa parts, and is what I got. I got part numbers from www.napaonline.com , and ordered at local store - arrived next day for me. The part numbers I gave you above are for the tie rod ends. You'll see the part numbers for the other pieces (ball joints, etc.) on their website.

 

OK thanks alot
