New Front end parts..
Ok so I need to do a bunch of front end work on my truck, ball joints, track bar, a new tie rod end, that kinda stuff.. So I was wondering, a local auto parts store stocks Moog Chassis Parts, they said all of the stuff they stock that I will need will be "Moog Problem Solver", Including the track bar and ball joints. Are these Moog parts of good quality?? Or should I just run down to Autozone and get the cheaper ones??? Thanks.

Update.... Installed a new Moog Track Bar, and a new stabilizer bar link. Even with just a new trackbar it made a heck of a difference a lot less front end play while goin down the road, tomorrow im replacing all of the tie rods. Then new ball joints on saturday, along with a new wheel/hub bearing assem.

I replaced my whole front end with MOOG from Orielly's and they have a lifetime warranty on'em. Going on 40,000 miles and it's all holding together and everything's still tight.

Yep I did.
I should state that I did purchase an after market extended warranty with the truck. I still have over 7,000 miles and 5 months left on it. Turns out that the warranty does not cover suspension items. OK, great, just my luck!
The local shop wanted over 2,000USD to complete all of the work. I told them that I wanted to do the work myself, and didnt have that kind of money. So anyways they gave me my truck back free of charge after inspecting everything, and dealing with the warranty company for me. Im very thankfull for that!! Ran some numbers tonight and I will be able to do everything for just over 1,000USD using all Moog problem solver parts, that includes all new brakes up front and a new caliper...
