Bought a set of moog sway bar links for my car, had lock nuts that wouldn't thread all the way on and after 2 pumps of grease both boots blew out and ruptured. Got a refund at the parts store and got mevotech supreme sway bar links and have had them on my car without issue. If you choose mevotech I'd suggest going with supreme or ttx grade parts if available.
@@maurice2014 the nuts the moog sway links came with weren't even the right thread pitch. I got them started but couldn't tighten them down. I got them at advance auto parts and the manager even said they weren't right sadly.
There are two MOOG brands; MOOG Steering and Suspension parts and MOOG Motion Controls. 95% of the video clips you used in this comparison are for the wrong MOOG. MOOG Motion Controls has no affiliation with MOOG Steering and Suspension.
My wallet and local shop availability and 5 year 100k warranty support my decision to use Mevotech for the current front end refresh of an existing lid gmc sierra.
So who's the winner???? It's not stated, but that's literally the reason that EVERYBODY who watched this video sat through it, as that's what the title implies. The company overviews are good to know, but not what ww came here for. There is literally no comparisons done and no winner proclaimed.
Nearly nine minute diatribe of marketing bullshit and not once do they say a word about where/what country any of it is manufactured in... "Mevotech is a Canadian based company" but are their parts actually manufactured in Canada or are they even manufactured by Mevotech at all or are they designed and marketed in Canada offices and then purchased from factories in China? Fact that they didn't say, tells me all I need to know.
I'll tell you the winner. They are both garbage! I've tried both moog and mevotech supreme on my civic and both ball joints only lasted about 6 months each. Utter trash. It's sickening how dangerous it is to use inferior steel. Use OE.
@@joeybuddy96 you get what you pay for bro. It is disgusting that 20 years ago you atleast had loads of options. And sometimes a mere $5-10 could make a huge difference. Now that is more like pay %75-100 more for the right sh*t. This is what happens when outsourcing becomes standard. The standards go to sh*t.
@101 Vids Did you even stop to think that maybe the problem isn’t the parts but maybe the installer, You are basing your opinion on one set of ball joints on one vehicle! You are absolutely out of your mind if you think MOOG is trash! I have been using MOOG for over 25 years commercially, I guarantee that I have repaired more vehicles in one week than you have in your entire life! My statement is based on thousands of vehicles over almost 3 decades, I guarantee that you installed something wrong!
@@NeverEnoughPyro40i got 2 hubs from moog for my 2007 Silverado Classic (accident insurance repair claim list, nothing appeared wrong with the stock 1s) they are good. I saw a vid recently of a tierod end from moog using a plastic bearing compared to toyotas, idk if its snake oil or what but mevotec claims sintered metal bearing and even dorman rd line claims a metal on metal bearing, so there is plenty of choices. I replaced upper control arm bushings on a 2004 trailblazer and they were good. I'm not knocking moog, but it seems the nimrod with the honda above is the problem.
I did my 98 Corolla's front-end suspension over in Mevotrash Supreme XFactor crap. I paid big bucks for the best. I did a flawless job installing the parts and do mostly highway driving. I got 1 year before I had to remove it all, and I mean ALL. Replaced with Toyota parts which lasted 4 years til I sold the car. Mevocrap... NEVER again!
As a person that sells moog and mevotech this video confused the shit out of me, moog move its factories to China now and mevo tech to Taiwan but the technology used on mevotech is much better less come backs. Now if it's moog from the past made in the USA those were built rightn but the China stuff is trash now
Used mevotech ttx on my truck. Lifetime warranty doesn't mean anything if it leaves you stranded. 10k and they already have play on one side. Won't buy again.
Thanks for mentioning "Lifetime Garuntee" vs reality and how much it sucks to be stranded. I have experienced these failures in tools, car parts, and even fishing gear. I only use products 'normally". I try my hardest to not abuse anything as I want it to last. But this sh*t is like a disease these days. When you have to tell your employer for instance, "My starter is bad, I am replacing today, sorry bear with me." And then a week later you are telling the same story, that Lifetime Warranty Garuntee means nothing. I learn this the hard way and spend 50-100% more to combat this. Its absolute bs. There are plenty of stories like this... One of the worst when it comes to a home appliance like a (clothes) washing machine is Samsung. I havr never bought one. But they have these insanely long lige warranties. Something like 10 years. Which is pretty amazing considering a low-end GE model has a 1-2 year warranty and the price can very by $150 (+/-). Yet if you talk to a repair man or a poor soul that bought one, many can vouche that they are the biggest pieces of sh*t out there. I am not saying all Samsung products are like this, but their washing machines are made with the cheapest alloys and they do not consider different types of metals reacting and corroding terribly. They start rotting out within a couple of years and their refrigerators are sh*t as well. I can go on and on about this crap... When it comes to car parts... you really have to bite the bullet and apply the "you get what you pay for" conclusion. Some things are fine to do cheaply, of course. But there is so many garbage quality products out there it is just a constant ligr lesson these days with car parts. It is worse than ever. It is as if the options are drying up.
Just tried to install Mevotech lower control arms with ball joints on an '09 Sienna. The forward mount has two bolt holes but with one bolt installed the other bolt hole was 3/16" out, making it a no-go. Also the lower part of the ball joint was too tall, meaning it would be contacting the brake backing plate when installed. The quality of the part looked very good and I should have looked much closer comparing the new to the old part but I've got better things to do then potentially wasting my time ordering a part (especially on-line) and finding it's out of spec. Sorry Mevotech, can't buy from a company with quality control issues like this..
Every single item for cars are manufactured over seas and stamped with “made in USA or made in Canada” etc. they do it because the cost of labor is cheaper.
@@oldskool1979 robot labor is just as expensive as human labor. They have to pay for those multi million dollar machines just like they have to pay human labor
MevoTech is junk compared to Moog. Mevo uses neoprene for CV boots - terrible material that won't last the way hard thermoplastic CV boots do. Their sway bar end links have counterhold allen holes that are barely deep enough to prevent stripping out, grease fittings are in locations adjacent to nearby suspension parts so they can be next to impossible to grease. MevoTech is absolute junk. Their CEO, Evo Mezerach, is a real hustler for running a company that sells such junk. Moog is still reasonably good quality. Some of their stuff can be hit-or-miss, but for the most part it is solid.
Yes I agree and then they bring a third company into the mix comparing it with Moog and movotek this video is absolutely useless the images also show people grinding and doing other work in the engine and not suspension related at all this is totally useless at a bunch of verbal diarrhea
I bought Mevotech sealed ball joints for my car. I installed zerk fittings on these ball joints. After I drilled the hole I discovered there was no grease in the sealed ball joint from the factory not a drop of Grease. These ball joints would have failed within one year. Stay away from Mevotech!
@ Cory Lomon Let me guess your statement is based on a couple cars that you repaired in either your garage or backyard, I’ve been using MOOG for almost 30 years commercially and you are out of your mind!
Moog quality has dropped substantially in the past years. They use to offer RK (value) and CK (problem solver) part number variants which would have different levels of quality. I hardly see that anymore if at all, anything MOOG ive used in the past 2 years has failed prematurely. Never again. OEM only. @@NeverEnoughPyro40

I am actually even more indecisive and confused after watching.
Yes lol
That’s why you read the comments lol

I bought mevo tech. The sway bar link, en didn't last a year, it's all rupture & grease all over, I'll prefer moog,
Did you torque your nuts? Also did you grease before or after installing? Those two things matter.
Mevotech TTX seems to be highly rated
@@maurice2014 the nuts the moog sway links came with weren't even the right thread pitch. I got them started but couldn't tighten them down. I got them at advance auto parts and the manager even said they weren't right sadly.

That's funny!
No winner announcement.....
I picked MevoTech for the last few years. I have done alot of vehicles in that time and nothings came back yet. Lord have Mercy 😆
Moog is made in China now, It's not what it once was. Take your chance.
I know mevotech has the TTX line up are they better than moog?
Ya I run alot of TTX on my personal Trucks and customers. Definitely better bang for your buck

My OEM control arms alone are $375 a piece. They last 100k miles approximately. I'm about to order my 3rd set. So going cheaper sometimes makes sense

"Here is the winnner", right. Useless video.
Moog has falled FAR FAR FAR in the last 8 years....there quality has gone downhill and i no longer suggest there brand to anyone or at my shop.

You just described the AWD sienna version you gotta cross reference correctly next time
@@jesusramos-my2qr The part was ordered correctly from Rock Auto. Apparently they needed to correct their catalog reference.
@@atomiclitterbox8526 understood incorrectly nvm bro
Mevotech is the leader when you buy there extreme parts. PERIOD !!!!!!
If you can get trw, get that brand. My factory dodge ram control arms and coil springs are trw.
Trw company has been sold & restructured. Now stuff is made in Asia, time will tell. Scarey.

Nice channel. Very good clean crisp voice. Happy holidays from Canada
It's a computer voice reading an AI generated script. Pretty crap video imo.
Dangerous. Put Moog ball joints on my Accord, they bust at 3,000 miles.
So this is an amazon sales promotion.
This kind of video just clogs the Internet with trash.

Most sealed ball joints dont use grease, they have a composite keeper inside.
Instead of "Mevotech Vs Moog" it should read crap vs. shit.
?????????🤨
Excellent review. Thank you.

Both are junk choices now buy 555 if u have the choice and if not spend the extra on OEM
