    What Brand Part for FrontEnd Overhaul

    Hey guys i wanna redo my entire frontend...Advance Auto has Moog parts which I was gonna go with. Is Moog still a great option? Is there better out there for the $$$ (its pricey). This car will see boost im thinking within 12-15months. For high HP what would be best option? Moog Or?

    Hmmm. I replaced the left front hub/wheel bearing on my wife's 2016 Explorer with a Moog. And then on Friday replaced the right rear hub/wheel bearing with a Moog.

    If the choice is Moog or the house brand - go Moog.
