Has anyone used moog front control arms ? From what i hear, moog is a pretty good brand. Just curious if anyone has experience with this particular product.

My rubber bushings are starting to show its age with some cracks

This is for my 2001 acura integra ls 3dr

I have installed these on a few Acura's in my years, and the fit and quality is very good for an OE application.

Sagging of the bushings or tearing is generally where I recommend replacements.

I've used their tie rods I think. Good. OEM quality and decent pricing. They are very popular in other parts of the car world as upgrades to OE.

thanks for your valuable information. i may just hold off on the control arm bushings then because mine just have some surface cracks that do not look too terrible.

I do need to bring attention to the trailing arm bushings.

Surface cracking will occur with any rubber part that is exposed to the elements for too long. Radiator hoses, mounts, etc. Once the bushing shows clear signs of separating from its shell, its time to get new ones.

REMEMBER: All suspension bushings need to be installed in a neutral position, meaning the bushing bolts MUST be tightened at ride height, not on a lift. Severe damage or undesirable performance may result.
