Re: Good source for front suspension/steering parts?

There are various suppliers, but Moog has always been a go-to for many of us. I was told they're now chinese and quality isn't what it used to be. I can tell you I didn't research the country of origin, and I personally had no issues with their parts as recent as a few years ago. Still on my latest build I wanted to try Holley's "Pro Forged" brand and they fit well, seemed very beefy and I haven't had any issues. Very good stuff in my opinion.

Re: Good source for front suspension/steering parts?

I decided to go with ProForged steering components because of the E-coating they use to resist rusting and through searching the internets I haven't really come across any legitimate complaints with their products, I can't say the same for MOOG.

Did you have a chance to compare the ProForged molds with Factory? I'm curious if ProForged looks like they are made from same factory mold? At least center link and tie-rods?


Here is a source, and a comment

Factory as in actual from the factory installed parts no, all of the steering compnents that were removed from the car were I believe all factory 'replacements', I'm the third owner of the car and I've had the car since 97, chances that any of the steering components are from the factory installed parts are pretty slim.
That would be a good question for ProForged though.
