I've noticed lately with my stuff from Rock Auto that almost all the boxes/packages have already been opened .... doesn't give me much confidence in the parts.
Bushing should look something like this. GM pieces are of noticeably better quality ... probably not enough to matter, but in your hand you can see the difference.

My guess is its a change in production & probably another Moog drop in quality via Federal Mogul, But thats my guess. They came in sealed bags, & they had three sets in stock. All of them identical. They appear to me to be dipped.
I won't be going this route & there's a good chance the ones that have the gray Zinc will be disappearing soon. Part number Moog # K5196 "Made in India"
