You're literally the first person I've ever heard have an issue with Moog.

I had quite a few problems with some of their products about 5 years ago. I've had really good luck with Mevotech on Rock Auto, and for the customers that want to spend the money, XRF makes really nice stuff.

Well up to a few years ago I installed thousands of dollars worth of front end parts weekly.
I read many forums also and the problem persists. People get hung on brand names and think they never change their manufacturing processes or vendors. Mobile 1 is a good example.

Got the back up camera wiring routed and the camera itself mounted on the plate. Now just have to figure out how to hook it into the stereo. LOL
I feel like an idiot trying to get it hooked up.
This is on the 90 F150 with a OUKU 7" touchscreen stereo.




Once I get this done I will have everything for the stereo done.

Had a clip pop out of the center u-joint so I got that back in, checked all my fluids and it looks like I will be searching for a coolant leak

New Starter installed today. It was getting old getting ready to go to work and truck not starting. Already replaced the solenoid a couple of weeks ago and then heard starter dragging Friday morning. After starter it fired up no problems.

Fixed the rear filler hose for the fuel tank in the rear on the 89 F250.


Got to pick up a piece from radio shack for the back up camera on the 90 F150.

Went to the junkyard and snagged a couple canister purge valves to get rid of the 565 constant memory code

Bought a new battery and got the '95 fired up again. Waiting for insurance card to show up in the mail so I can buy new license plates and registration.. It really sucked not having 4x4 after all the snow/wind we got last week... Soon it's going to be needing a slave cylinder (and a clutch while I'm there..)

Well, I had an unplanned repair on the truck. Stopped to put fuel in for the week. When I went to leave the key seamed to have additional play and wouldn't start. So I thought that the solenoid wire came loose so I popped the hood was able to jump the solenoid to get it started. Jumped in to head home and couldn't get the shifter to move out of Park! So I called my son and he came over with the spare column so we could try to figure this out. We ended up swapping out the column right there at the gas pump. More to come!

Put more power steering fluid in and parked it across the street. Stupid all year calendar parking.
