Good product, best in shocks, struts and suspension

Fits perfectly on my 2010 Chevy Colorado Z71 4x4. The one I got is a new style with a built in dust cover, which is nice. The oiler had to be adjusted to allow it to be lubricated with the tire, but it soaked up the grease well. New bolts, washers and nuts included.

Pros
  • Ball joints
Cons
  • Some imperfections

I ordered two lower ball joints, one was fine, and the other was missing a rubber boot . I ordered a replacement and it arrived the next day, also without the rubber boot. Revain did a great job trying to fix the issue, but Moog obviously has a quality control issue. I also ordered internal tie rods, one was good and the other was the wrong one with the correct part numbers.

Pros
  • Shock absorbers, struts and suspension
Cons
  • There are nuances

Mug is much better than stock.

They fit my 2009 Z71 Colorado exactly, changed the top at the same time, big difference (better) in handling, brakes, everything. The truck only has 42,000 miles, but it's a V8 4x4, the stock ball joints are pretty tired. You will need to loosen the axle drive nut and slide the axle toward the center of the car to loosen the lower ball joint. You may need to use a brass drift or large puller, which again is just enough to free the lower ball joint. DO NOT completely remove the axle from the…
