If your going to replace upper ball joints Moog parts are correct not all holes line up with McQuay Norris. I am not familiar with Durlast. Pep Boys carried Moog at one time.

Go with Moog if you can. I hear it's the best stuff.

If the price difference is modest, go with moog. I have used a lot of Autozone parts without any significant problems though.

I have used alot of auto zone stuff and have not had any problems

except for the cheap brake pads
I upgraded to the better ones and now they are holding up much better

I believe you can order Moog suspension parts from Summit. I might be wrong.

The duralasts are McQuay Norris, but go with the moog.

We use to carry mcquay, now most of the parts are re-boxed moog. If you want to pay for the blue/yellow box, go with moog, but most likely you'll get the same parts from us in the duralast name. We are spreading the duralast name across all of our products in 3 phases. Valucraft = "low priced line", Duralast, and then Duralast Gold. Keep in mind these arnt actual brand names, its just a marketting thing. All the parts are still made by another name brand company.

I know alot of the guys that work for az

Check the box,if its a reboxed Moog part being sold by an auto parts store it will have a small moog logo somewhere on the box.

One nice thing about the Zone is that , at least here in Arizona, you can get your parts warrantied even if you lose the receipt. Their computer system tracks your parts, keys off your phone number. They recently warrantied a set of brake pads I had bought years earlier, I had forgotten where I even bought them. They weren't even defective, just plain worn out. I went into the store to buy another set, didn't even have the old ones with me. The guy offered to check, I had no idea. Thankyouverymuchlysir!
