Moog parts
Ordered a set of Moog ball joints, tie rod ends, and idler arm. All made in the USA
The parts are all pre-greased with a black grease, does anyone know what type Moog uses before shipping their parts out the door so I can use the same type? Any other I should be using instead?

Moog is now owned by Federal Mogul. I wonder if they have either a) moved some of their manufacturing oversee or b) license their name to another manufactuer? I thought I read that some of these companies are in fact licensing their name but can't say for certain.

actually I believe 'Tennico is the company that owns 'Moog....FM went belly-up several years ago ....they were in pursuit of auto parts companies when they bought a 'Brake company and 'subject to their debt...a very stupid move.....the case was about asbestos which they lost....the stock went from 40.00 to finally zero.....would you believe Tennico owns Monroe shocks and besides shocks now sells a full line of Brakes which could be either Wagner or Eis brand........

When I first did a Forum search on the subject of Moog parts and where to buy them, both Rockauto and Amazon came up. Checked Rockauto's site, and for some reason they didn't have all of the part #'s listed that I had entered. So I checked out Amazon....they had what I needed

I have purchase Moog stuff from both Amazon and Rockauto. The only issue I had can be found in this post. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-g...our-parts.html
Amazon had the correct part number on the box and what I ordered, but it was the wrong piece in the box. I ended up getting a refund and ordering that one part from Rockauto.
