I use Moog, TRW or Perfect Circle. Prefere Moog -- and see if you can get a "heavy duty" arm.

The correct answer is probably 'original'.
I'm installing the HD one that came with my front end kit, but
I'm keeping the good original one for future use, if needed.

How 'bout Spicer, do they make 'em ?

Moog is the best. I sell auto parts and have sold both Spicer and Moog and the concensus among professional installers is Moog. Craig :chevy
