Moog has the name, clearly, and at one point they were "the" manufacturer for suspension parts. Times have changed tho.....

I like Raybestos professional grade from some things, as they were clearly better engineered for some items, others Moog were better.

China/Asian made parts are now the norm from any manufacturer, case in point, the engine mounts we all have to deal with. Price isn't always an indicator of quality, but it goes a long way when presented with multiple options for the same item from different companies.

Speaking of Asian made parts taking over....I just "fixed" my fridge, wasn't cooling like it was supposed to, condenser fan had gone out. A 15 year old GE Profile. Got the new fan in and it was identical to the original in every way, body dimensions, materials, part number, font, etc., all except for being stamped "made in China" as opposed to "made in USA". Even the stamp font "made in" was identical.

Oh well, it works, time to see if the new one lasts 15 years.......
