I went to belle tire yesterday for an estimate on ball joints and they showed me that my pitman arm and idler arm were bad. The steering is extremely loose and there's a lot of movement in the tires when it's lifted. I want to replace all ball joints, outer tie rods, pitman and idler arm As I'm looking at prices from MOOG to Duralast, I'm kinda doing this... This wont be cheap. I want to get quality parts so I wont have to do this again next year, but for that parts line up here are the totals:

MOOG:$537
Duralast:$213

Right now I can afford around $300. Or wait a month or two and pick up the MOOGs. Are there any parts better than Duralast but not as expensive as MOOG? Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

 

Anyone?

 

I've heard great things about Power Performance and NAPA-Premium. I'm not sure if either are much cheaper than Moog.

PPM has a kit with everything included for $485 [link]

 

Go with the Moog, Duralast is a cheap autozone part and not a qaulity part.

 

I ended up ordering from power performance. I'll be installing on Monday.
