Review on Moog K8737 Crossmember Repair Kit by Sedric Hood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than scrapping a car!

Worked as it should and caused no alignment problems. Nice anodized parts, feel solid and well made. Put a lot of effort into a 1993 Taurus and then noticed a rotten OEM strut mount pressed into the subframe. Bought 2 and did the passenger side because it worked too. The car drives normally again. Rent a 4x4 truck hub from your local parts store, can't remember what size. I took a set of jacks to the store. If it's tight but just doesn't fit, look for burrs or manufacturing edges on the bushing itself. I had to try a few of the same sizes before I got one that fit the threaded part. Sometimes they are scratched or broken, after all, the life of a rental tool is tough. The tolerances can only be tighter for the bushing kit than the spindle nut, not sure. No real problem, don't worry if you can't find an outlet, just try another one. It seems to be a pretty good patch and is holding up great after about a year or so. I painted mine after installation, hoping to keep them from rusting for a while, although the few spots I missed look just fine. If I had to complain, I would say that one of the two pieces did not come assembled in the box. The "nut" section is strong enough (and stiff enough Fedex) to snag the threads on the male section, one spot was bad enough I had to shave off a small piece of the flattened thread with a razor to keep it from breaks. other subjects are on the way. Turned it on and off a few times and everything was fine again. Might not matter if you don't plan on deleting again, I wasn't sure so I wanted to keep that option.

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Not everything fits
