No threads in the fitting for the zerk and it was machined out to a size double what the included zerk would fit. I chose to pay a premium price for this?!?
- yes, I was stupid for not checking it first, but still...

8 identical control arm bushings for a GTO had 3 different inside diameter holes. One was so small the bolt wouldn't fit through it. Unfortunately it was the first one I installed and it nearly wrecked my install tool. Never again.

Metrix Premium is my go-to brand now. I don't have to but would gladly pay extra for it. Quality has been over the top on every occasion so far and they seem to strive to make parts that mirror OE. I'll also second Mevotech like Ponchjoe mentioned. They have even stepped up and started manufacturing parts Moog stopped production of (was it 2020 when they discontinued 200+ vintage part numbers?). Mevotech now even produces factory replacement springs that were always a pain to find in stock from Moog years ago.

Yeah I’d be livid and taking a similar approach. Thank you for the suggestion.
