MOOG Sucks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 сер 2020
- As you can probably tell in this video, I’m pretty mad at MOOG. Normally I wouldn’t call out a company like this, but enough is enough. If it was one part that didn’t work, that would be one thing, but for me, this has been several parts over the years that I’ve had trouble with, all with the name MOOG on the box.
Have you had issues with parts from a particular company? If so, please share those experiences in the comments.

It really sounds like you're in a bad moog.
just gonna pretend my tie rods and stabilizer links aren't moog
HI Eric I am the manager of a SE Colorado independent family owned parts store. Honestly I agree with your assessment of your problem you shouldn't have to cut or modify a part that when I look something up it doesn't fit the application. Moog makes some good parts for 95% of vehicles and In my experience in the 5 percent of the parts they produce that are not they have always taken care of the warranty or helping us figure out what is going on. I have had issues with Moog before with a control arm for Honda Acura not fitting the application correctly, I ordered in two more that were both the same. I talked to Moog with the shop installing it and they agreed the part was manufactured to the wrong specifications a few days later we got a redesigned part from Moog and they did a pull that number from our store and credit us for it. Its not your job to quality control a product especially when you're the one putting it on I know how frustrating it can be to have bad parts as someone who has been on both sides of the counter. As a hugefan of your channel (and thank you for all your great videos by the way. you have a very cool Fairimont very inspiring ) I will call moog when their tech line service is open and let them know about the issue you are having because I would hate to see this happen to a regular customer who doesn't have the experience or knowledge that you do I will make sure they get that number pulled from everyones shelvesIf you would like to reach out to Moog themselves i am more than happy to give you the number for their tech line even though you solved the issue yourself. I hope you have a good day Sir and keep up the good videos.
MOOG, bought to you by "Dorman Products"
Moog has gone down hill in the last 10 years.
Hey Moog, I was just convinced to not buy Moog parts.
OK not moog synths
Moog used to be good... back in the 80s and 90s. Nowadays, not so much.
Nothing more infuriating than a direct fitment part that is anything but.
Unscrew, Split that Ball joint into 3 pieces!!! Take an 8th of an inch off of both threaded shafts Put it back together and put it on your car... Bizarre? As much time as it takes make the video, you could have customised that Finally made moog ball joint, to fit your car perfectly.. And you get your zurich fittings. In my eyes a big plus... Wowow are you one of those guys that throw tools across the garage?? This is coming from a electrician.. I am not a car mechanic by no means...
ETCG: "Moog sucks!"
Loved that the camera shakes every time Eric drops the POS Moog

Just rebuilt the front end on my ‘08 Element. Your videos came in handy to get ready. Had not seen this one, and bought almost all Moog parts. Fortunately, everything fit. Lower control arms compared exactly to stock ones. Ball joints pressed in fine. Sway bar links came with zerks. The only non-Moog parts were tie rod ends. I got Mevotech ends from Rock Auto because they had zerks and the Moogs did not. Also replaced the rear sway bar links with Moog because the cheap ones I put in 2 years ago were already clunking... Lesson learned.
Their suspension bits might suck, but Moog sure makes a badass synthesizer
Owned my own shop, i was on my own, every minute counts, i relate to this.
I work at a autoparts store and moog products are not how they used to he made. Cheap stuff with high ticket prices
MCM Moog: “Do you think this will fit my honda?”
me staring at my entire front end moog kit that just arrived: 😳
Completely justified complaint. Had you not made this video there would be even less chance of them ever fixing this problem.
