MOOG are good and they are grease-able

Mine have been going south for a while now. Just don't have the time or patience to mess with them =\

I second that. This is my first diesel and the only thing that NY does is a safety inspection. No OBD scan, no emissions, no nothing. I was told that if I wanted "easy" inspections then keep buying diesels. There is some merit to the inspections though when they take cars off the road that could fall apart at any moment. My father-in-law's 1977 Buick Le Sabre was one of those cars thank goodness.

The problem with inspections is that most places that do them also work on vehicles and are generally trying to drum up business...
