On my new '91 745 ordered parts from FCP. TRW ball joints, Boge radius bushings, Febi trans mount, shifter busing kit, poly bushings for ALT/AC (8 of them). Looked around at all the usual places & settled for the FCP parts. TRW ball joints came stamped as Moog as well as the box. Understand they are the same company now, how's the quality?

And how well do the poly accessory bushings hold up? Ended up removing the ALT/AC bracket to get the lower busings replaced. AC bushings were really shot & who ever installed the compressor screwed up one bracket & at least half of them were loose & a couple of the AC bolts were not even the right ones. That's why I let no one work on my cars.

Wrenching on this car is going to be nice. For being a '91 it only has 120K. Body is probably the nicest cleanest brick I've had to date. It was a California from new til about '07. None of the fasteners are rusted together & nothing busted off while removing the ALT/AC bracket.
