    I can get MOOG Balljoints from BMA for a total of $126 shipped - or I can get Lemforder inners from Rennsport for $160+shipping and outers from FCP Euro for $80+shipping. Ever heard of MOOG? Should I steer clear, or would I be alright to just go that route?

    Thoughts?

      According to a friend who used to be big into domestic cars, moog is a solid brand for balljoints. No personal experience though.

          I ordered the Moog's! From what I could tell, they are a solid brand indeed.

          Fresh, you need to call or e-mail Patrick @ BMA and give him the following PNs:
          Inner Ball Joint: 31121701063
          Outer Ball Joint: 31121701077

          He can then order them. I asked him about why some of these things don't show up on the website and he said there are a lot of parts that aren't on there because they aren't inventoried a certain way. Soooo, give them a holler!


          I should have them within the week - so, I'll post some feedback at that point!

                        MOOG is a very big name in the industrial manufacturing world.

                        Beware the iX inner joints you might find on online catalogs, most are inaccurately assigned to the iX. For instance, Beck Arnley does NOT supply an inner joint for the iX, but they have claimed to.
                        I was able to get an inner Lemforder joint from a distributor locally, but they have clsoed up I believe.

                        Good luck getting your joints, I hope BMA works out, that seems like a good price.

                            You should get yours before I get mine, hope there are no issues with them

                                Sean, are the inners the correct ones?
