My '09 Impreza had a clunk after installing MOOG ball joints and it turned out that the bore on one side wasn't tight enough/the part was too small, allowing it to move up and down against the retaining bolt.
I went with moog when I lifted my truck almost 40k miles ago by now. I’m not saying everyone else is wrong with OEM, but I’m not dead yet
in the 3rd gen 4Runner (96-02) community, Moogs have a well deserved reputation of being hot garbage. The design of the front steering/suspension is such that when the lower ball joints give up, the spindle comes detached and causes the front wheel to basically do whatever it wants, with subsequent loss of vehicle control. There are many many reports of Moogs failing with 20-30k.
I installed Moog ball joints before I did any research. They were shot when I went to replace them with OEM at about 7K miles.
I replaced all my ball joints with MOOG. Problem solved!
Generally love moog, but had a set of ball joints fail on my ram after less than 10k miles. Worse than dodge factory parts.
Moog just updated its ball joints recently. So they have actually improved now.
I can attest to the drop in Moogs quality lately. Those ball joints just aren't as good as they used to be.
Avoid moog, I always had issues with them on Japanese makes.
Been using moog for 6 years, been great so far, no play yet after 80k miles.
