Re: MOOG tie rods and ball joints??
Some of the parts from their Problem-Solver line are very good. Some of their parts are not suitable from a dimensional standpoint, as most of their parts include grease fittings, which today are nearly pointless. On FWD or 4WD/AWD vehicles, the lower joints can be a problem specifically for this reason. They are better than most house-brand joints in quality on average. A good ball-style joint should have a sealed design, a graphite-impregnated nylon wear insert, and a thick, leak-proof boot seal.
A lot of parts can fit that bill. The biggest problem affecting joint longevity is proper installation. Keep that in mind.

I use ONLY Moog or genuine oem Honda, nothing else. for bone stock all the way to full race cars, Moog is the only one I trust as much as genuine Honda

I've used quite a few Moog parts and I've had good luck in general. That said if this was going on a newer car that I would want to keep for the next 10 years, I'd go OEM. If not, I think Moog is fine.
