Hi,
Looks like I need to replace the ball joints in my 940. I put in Moog joints a couple years back when I rebuilt the front suspension and within a few months had noise in the front that has slowly gotten worse. I think I have finally tracked it down to one ball joint- there is some play in it.

Given the short lifespan of the Moog, I am pretty concerned about reliability. I think I read here that Moog was made by TRW so I thought it would be good but I do think I paid about $18 for them which probably should have told me something.

My options:
1) Genuine Volvo will cost in the low $50s taxed and shipped.
2) Lemforder will be about $40 taxed and shipped.
3) Meyle will be in upper $20s taxed and shipped.
4) TRW - I haven't found great sources but they look like low 50s also.

Given my past experience, I'm much more worried about quality than the small price differences. The Moog problem could have just been a fluke but would like to avoid it again.

Any thoughts>
Thanks!
Lyle
