I chose Moog based on previous experience with competing brands. Their cost is higher, but this reflects the cost of high-quality materials. I used to buy cheaper counterparts, but most of them failed after the warranty expired, and of course you were not reimbursed for the cost of alignment after replacing the part. I switched to Moog and they haven't had a single bug yet. I own 6 different makes and types of vehicles, cars, trucks and SUVs so I am intimately familiar with the cost of ownership and the value of quality products.
