joining the front end rebuild train
Does anyone use moog ball joints from rockauto? I am a little skeptical about the $24 moogs when they are 80 to 100$ elsewhere.

They buy by the train/ship loads and keep their mark up low - you get quality parts at a price you can afford.
And from your other post I really have hard time with your friend ended up with counter fit parts from them - IMO he's mistaken or feeding you a long line of BS

Sounds like I am just going to use rock auto for those amazing prices then!
My next worry is which parts are actually different for a ZR2 model. I have confirmed that I have a 1998 ZR2 blazer but am having a hard time finding much information aside from 3 people saying 3 different things..
so far I know the body/frame, tie rods, cv axles, and wheels.bearings are different.
Should I just assume I need the offset tie rods because my vehicle is a ZR2?
Is one tie rod on each side straight and the other offset, or are they both offset?
and then are there any other parts in the front suspension/steering that is different fromt he base (non-ZR2) models?

I contacted the local dealer's parts guy/mechanic and he seemed to know nothing about any ZR2 models but gave part numbers
outer tie rod: 12471300
inner tie rod: 12471301 (he said might look offset)
He said he could read nothing off of the vin and showed no other tie rod options.
Any more input would be much appreciated!
