Here we’ll be talking a lot about specific MOOG technologies, and we welcome your comments. (There’s also a separate, product-specific blog you may be interested in checking out.)
As time passes you’ll be reading posts by several of us, with a variety of perspectives: engineers, R&D guys, technicians, marketers and others.
No matter who’s doing the writing, you’re probably going to notice a lot of pride and excitement coming through. But hey, MOOG technology is used by more technicians and NASCAR crew chiefs, so why shouldn’t we be excited to talk about it?
Stay Tuned!

I got a set of Moog ball joints and sway bar links for my 07 Kia Optima. I decided to good with the Premium Moog products, and pay a premium price, because of the features that were detailed on the Moog website. Greaseable joints and robust dust covers only make sense to me. I gotta say that I was a little disappointed when I got the products that the features that make Moog stand out above the rest weren’t available on my particular parts. In fact, they are appreciably no different than the OEM parts that came with the car. They look identical. While I don’t think there is anything wrong with the parts, I was a little disappointed when I thought I was paying for a premium product, only to end up with the same thing.
Thanks,

Thanks Paul for your post. You have purchased a MOOG Asia-Spec component. Rest assured that the part you have installed has been designed and rigorously tested to meet or exceed the OEM specifications for performance. This criteria includes stud swing, deflection, socket torque and steering response. Thanks for your purchase!

Hi Tony
Thanks for your post – unfortunately, we no longer have springs for your AMX – although we still have the components for the steering (see http://www.fme-cat.com).
I have the MOOG engineers looking into how we can help you further – can you tell me the engine you have in your AMX?

I recently purchased 2 new lower ball joints for my 2005 Toyota Sequoia. (K80521, K80522) I thought these would come with zerk fittings to grease the ball joints, they did not. When you move the ball joint, it feel very rough like it has no grease in it. Are these pre-greased? Is the small bolt on the side to install a grease fitting, and why didn’t one come in it already? Thanks for you help.

These parts should have come with grease fittings. One of our engineers will be contacting you via email to resolve this.
In reference to the tight fit, yes, that would be normal if you are trying to move that by hand, and yes the parts are pre-lubed. The provision for greasing them is to periodically infuse with fresh grease and to flush away any contaminates that may have entered the part.
Thanks!
