I'm going to change the bushings and ball joint on my chevy caprice. I'm going with moog parts. What do yall think of moog. Are they good or bad, anything better. Or should I just go with some cheap parts.

I like Moog better than the shit that autozone sells. It's just a better quality part that is worth the extra money in my opinion.

Bet, I wanted to make sure it was worth the money. I'm getting 4 ball joints and all control arm bushings for $185. Think that's a good price?

I'd say that's about right. I got upper & lower ball joints (both sides) for around $35 each from O Rielly (sp?). That's for a 84 s10 blazer 2wd. So around $140 just for ball joints. I would look on O's website for pricing tho.

Yea, I'm bout to lower my bubble. And went and got some control arms and trailing arms, so thought of replacing all the bushings and ball joints for a good ride now that they are out. I want the best stuff out there. I did a search and heard that the other colorful ones (forgot the name) squeak and stuff.

Anyone know how to remove the lower and upper control arm bushings? I've already changed the ball joints. They don't have a bushing tool. I searched how to remove them, and someone had made they're own tool. I tried but didn't work. Anyone have any idea of another way or how you have done it?

Lol, I don't think I would be able to, doing this shit is a pain in the ass. But if I was to be able to take the bushings out, ima have to cut the sleeves that are stuck to the a-arms cause the moogs come with them already. I'll post of pic of them in a bit.
