    Front lower arm bushing choice

    Hello everyone!

    In preparation for some repairs on my Accord, I need to purchase new front suspension bushings. My two options are Moog Chassis parts, or OEM Honda. The set of bushings (body and strut fork) is about the same price from both suppliers. Moog includes a new bolt and nut for the strut fork. Basically, my question is: How does quality compare? That is the deciding factor because if OEM is better quality than Moog, I'll go for that (the extra hardware in Moog kits is beneficial though). Thanks in advance for your input.

    Moog makes some of the best quality suspension parts in the business. As good or better than factory Honda parts. Go for the Moog.

    Thanks Moodybluesr,

    I'm not sure how well the Moog tie rod ends compare to the OEM parts. I noticed today that the boot on my TRW (which seems to be identical to Moog, both made by Federal Mogul) tie rod end has split after about 6K miles. The boots, however, are designed differently and don't use circlips. Thanks for your opinion though . Looks like Moog is a better choice for me.
