Front end suspension/steering replacement?

[Merc1973]

Well, Its time at 240k to replace the factory control arms/ball joints, sway bar bushing/links, tie rods, pitman arm, idler arms, idler arm bracket. Question is between the two premium lines: Moog Problem solver/HD or AC Delco Professional. Anyone who has replaced these parts have a preference? I have not been impressed with Moog Problem solver lately, tie rods and idler arm wore out 15k miles in my Grand Marquis.

Im leaning toward the Moog Problem solver front end kit on RockAuto for $588 https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5647077&cc=1415551&jsn=8830 and then buy the AC Delco Professional ilder arm&bracket, pitman arm and Sway bar bushings/endlinks.

What do you guys think?

Shocks are already new since last year.

I used the AC Delco Pro pitman/idler. Steering improved 10 fold.

Amazon always has good deals.

After researching reviews of both on Amazon. Moog reviews were much better. Hmmmmm.

reviews can be paid for.......

There are reported fitment issues with one or two of the moog parts. Idler and pitman, I think.

I just ordered moog problem solver LCAs and sway bar end links. The prices were significantly lower on Amazon vs rockauto (About 110 vs 170) and they were the same part number. I haven' installed them yet but they look pretty heavy duty. Keep in mind I have not seen in person the a.c. Delco parts.

In total next week I'll be installing the LCAs timken wheel hubs and the tbss 2-3/4 drop kit

Hopefully your work is going well Bombsquad85 from Northern VA. I can't even get my upper arms off or i'd hopefully have some photos of the rest of what you're attempting. All the best!
