LCA Bushing - Duralast, Moog, or other?

[maxbraketorque]

Time to replace LCA bushings. I can easily get my hands on Duralast, Moog, and Dorman. Any thoughts on which is better, or is there is another brand that I should be purchasing?

As a side note, I originally ordered some Teraflex LCA bushings, and they came pre-cracked rubber, so I sent those back. What a disappointment.

Why invite all that grief, when LCS's cost so little?

LCS?

I just put in whatever the store had in stock, moog I think. Work fine. Just don't use moog ball joints.

I think he meant LCAs. Lower Control Arms.

The most important factor when buying replacement parts is not B
rand, but Country of Origin.

Clevite if you can find them. Tera Flex has mention of Clevite in their description. I think Ironman and Iron Rock used to sell them.
Also, MOPAR 5134990AA. I see them listed on Rock Auto.

Other mentions TWR, Delphi possibly Norris McQuay.

& so did I, that was a typo.

Absolutely (although, of course, here we have to take whatever turns up on FleaBay) The complication is leading brand made in China/India/Poland/Latvia/wherever - or part of unknown source in plain white box bearing the legend "Made in the USA"

I decided to do a bushing comparison. I ordered a bunch of different brands from Amazon and picked up some from Autozone. I'll post photos and specs on Monday.
