Default ASP suspension parts

Does anyone have any experience with these? I'm looking to rebuild my front end, not looking to spend Moog prices.

If you're planning on selling the vehicle right after installing the parts, fine. If you're planning on keeping the vehicle for any length of time, stay away from cheap parts. You're wasting your time and money, they will not last.

TRW and MOOG are both owned by Federal Mogul, a tier one OEM supplier. Many TRW parts are identical to the MOOG parts, packaging is the only difference. For ball joints, idler arms and pitman arms, choose MOOG. For tie rod ends, TRW is acceptable.

If they are identical why not use one or the other for everything?

"Many TRW parts are identical to the MOOG parts..." Not all of them. If you want to be sure you get the better part, get MOOG.
