SPICER VS MOOG

Are they a huge difference in these?

I know the Moog are the one's to get but they are expensive. I won't mind replace mind every two year or so, but will the Spicer hold up.

I'm asking because
Moog @ $94.79 a piece
Spicer @ $19.24 a piece

So is it worth getting the Spicer?

Thanks
Mike

If the plan is to keep the van forever, get Moog. If plan is to sell soon, Spicer is just fine.

Check rockauto.com you'll see the part number there.

Autozone also have the duralast one for $45 each w/2 yr warranty. Funds are very tight at this moment. I was actually thinking of getting that or autozone one @ $45/pc and it does comes with 2 yr warranty so I can replace every 1.5 years. Until funds get better, I can go with the moog.

I do plan on keep the van for a long time. But really can't afford moog right now.

I still have steering ign issue (key is stuck) have to get that fixed, and a few other things to get it up to par.

It's a steering part, Dude. Don't cheap out. Your life depends on the steering working perfectly all of the time. \:D/

I was told somewhere.... and no I don't remember - that the expensive Spicer Idlers are actually BETTER than the top end MOOG's? Rockauto has example photo's of them and the Spicers look heavier duty. Just asking.... I used TRW's last time I did a replacement - up in Canada eh - but also life time warranty

Use the Heavy Duty Moog only, the cheaper junk won`t even last a year, then they will begin to eat your tires.....

Don`t cheap out, fit Moog or fit a steering rack! haha!
