Moog front bushings ?

[tom h]

Wondering if anyone has used these Moog front control arm bushings ... The description implies they are firmer rubber than Moog's OEM rubber, but Moog web site is vague.

And if you have used these, are the metal shells plain steel or plated steel (eg, yellowish zinc dichromate or similar)? They do have stay pretty-looking !

I've never used them but have seen them at AutoZone. They are the poly bushings. They are the black urethene in a yellow zinc shell. IIRC they used to be cheap. Better than buying the PST kit if all you need is the 4 bushings.

Darn. If these Moog parts are poly, than I want to avoid it (concerns of harshness & squeaking, even if "poly-graphite").

Too bad there isn't a front bushing equivalent of the Camaro 1LE firmer rubber bushings.

great product! i have installed many of these and find they work very well. If you lowered your car you can install the upper shaft kit that gives you better adjustments for the caster and camber.

hmm, just found a thread at http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/moog-bushings-suck-85205.html , a forum thread titled "MOOG bushings suck!"

Several complaints on the Moog quality slipping in recent years. That is worrisome.
