I’ll be replacing all the front bushings for the A arms as well as the ball joints soon. Only 60k miles, but they were hard miles apparently. My question is, will there be any difference in performance or durability depending on whether I replace the control arms entirely with new OEM or Moog vs just buying the Moog bushings and installing them in the original control arms.
Money is not really a factor (which is not to say I want to waste it). Just wondering if the OEM has any advantage considering it’s only offering a complete assembly. I have a press and everything I need to press bushings. And plenty of time.
I’m usually biased towards OEM as a rule, and I had an unimpressive result using Moog on my Jeep. But some of that was sourced from EBay and I’m wondering if it may have been Chinese counterfeit.
PS I have considered using polyurethane high performance bushings but I don’t believe I would like the increased transmission of road shock.
The Hoe will be lifted soon, 4 to 6” and 33-35” tires.
