I had a case of the suspension clunkies so I replaced the front end suspension bits and pieces, including all 4 ball joints, tie rods and control arm bushings. The ball joints and tie rods were all Moog. No more clunkies. Had no issues with fitment on a 1998 Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4. Moog has some good quality parts with a lifetime warranty ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great price, great product. *by A***N on April 30, 2016* As a mechanic I trust moog for my suspension parts over the less reliable and cheaper parts. Moog also offers lifetime warranties. The fact the price on this was literally half that of local stores was great. I got two for the price of one with free 2 day shipping. Can't beat that.
