Brands of Front Suspension Parts ?
I was inspecting the front suspension on my 89 Chevy Caprice wagon and noticed that the upper control bushings were in pretty bad condition.
Also the control arm itself was heavily rusted. I thought about just replacing the control arm bushings but the rust has me a bit concerned. The ball joints are not worn but I thought now would be a good time to replace the also. So I thought I would try to locate some new control arms with bushings and ball joints included to see what was available. I was checking Rockauto and found that they carry complete control arm assemblies with the cross shaft and bushings along with new ball joints. They offer 3 different brands, Moog, Raybestos, and Dorman. My first choice would be the Moog which is the most expensive of the three (about $30 more)but the quality would be there also. My question is, who is making these parts for Dorman and Raybestos? They could be Moog Parts for all I know. As I have said, I know Moog has quality compoments but what about the other brands? I was hoping someone might know the answer.
