Moog is fine. Just don’t use the moog ball joints and install Sankei 555 or OEM ball joints and you’ll be fine. I am running Moog Suspention and Sankei ball joints. 4 years no issues.
Original OE ball joint failed at around 100,000 . Replaced uppers and lowers with Moog premiums , I now have 218,000 on the truck. I just checked em when I replaced steering rack bushings and there\u2019s no movement.
I use MOOG problem solvers replace and inspect them every 4 years. I can replace both sides in a little under an hour. I prefer MOOG’s design and like that they are greaseable over the sealed OEM design.
So far, just LBJs and regular maintenance.
Get new moog ball joints.
Moog used to be good but I’ve had weird quality issues with them.
Moog parts are dogshit these days unfortunately. I have failed to learn my lesson like 3x now, I keep losing ball joints and tie rods at like 30k.
For Honda Accord/TL/TSX, all the aftermarket ball joints are junk. In my personal experience, Moog lower ball joints last 2-3 years, while most other brands will last a year or less.
I would just avoid MOOG. For about 5 years every moog item with a ball joint I've installed failed early, so I stopped recommending MOOG around the time COVID started.
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.
