I bought XRF Joints and had a reputable shop do the install. One of the lower XRF joints cracked and it would have taken 3 days to get another, they had no way of leaving it on the rack for 3 days and said they usually install Moog and have had no issues. I was stuck so I said ok. Now I am in fear from all the negative posts about moog. I know there are some that are happy so I'd like to hear from you.

 

good luck. id order a new xrf and take the moog out.

 

no trouble at all with my moogs, had all 4 put on 1k miles ago, no tight steering, no wander and nice to see the grease fittings up there for a change.

 

You also have to consider how many moog joints get installed vs others. yeah im sure people have had problems woth moog but i can tell you i installed a set on a buddies truck 20k miles ago and he still seems happy with them. I cant say they are good or bad either way. course i did give him greif cause he will take it to the dealer for brakes and oil changes......give them all the gravy and I get all the dirty, hard work.......LOL

 

I've seen the negative posts, I just want to hear the good ones in this thread, thanks.

 

I installed moog b-joints well over 100k miles ago and they still seem good. The truck does have a little wander to it going down the road but nothing that can't be compensated for.

Just my .02

 

I did ball joints, u joints and brakes about 8k miles ago. I did notice some odd steering characteristics, but i just replaced the worn out 285/75/17 toyo a/t's with some Mich ltx m/s2 285/70/17 and all the oddness went away. I think some of the issue was that the tires wore odd due to the miles on the bad joints and when I put the new joints in the tires where causing some steering issues. Now its butter smooth, turns easy, comes back to 0 easy. I even hit some curves in the truck lol, the steering response was good and point on, no wandering, no sticking nothing... Just like new.

 

Here is a link to the exploded views of a Moog joint. They are not likely to break, they are just cheaply made and don't have a machined ball, so the ball is not round. This leads to galling and stiffness.

? i installed a set on my 06 at 65K and now have 133k with no issues. they have lasted longer than the factory ones and my truck is a work rig hauling heavy loads or pipe and 10,00lb trailers all the time.

so i have had great luck with mine.
