The box was quite battered, obviously old stock. The mounting studs (oxidized black) differ from the original mounting hardware (gold/zinc) that came with the original Moog rack assembly. I don't know if they are weaker/cheaper/not as strong as the original 10.9 gold zinc. Possible. Also, the diameter of the rubber lip seal in the middle is larger than the original, just odd as both have to be Moog for the same application and you wouldn't think they would differ at all. I mean why make 2 different parts for the same thing? It does not fit together.
