TRW in a MOOG box
This is a quality part, but it does not have a MOOG balljoint. That is unless MOOG makes balljoints for TRW. This balljoint clearly says TRW on it's clear silicone dust boot, just like the OEM Ford part. The forged casting also has TRW cast into it, just like the factory Ford part. No zerk fitting, which is completely ridiculous. This is a Ford part, plain and simple. Probably has the low-friction OEM design balljoint in which Ford feels no servicing is necessary. Yeah, right...that's why I'm changing the originals on my barely 100,000 mile Thunderbird. Not an isolated incident either, 89-97 Thunderbirds are notorious for balljoint and bushing problems. Check TCCOA dot com for proof of this.
The box it comes in is covered with false advertising showing exploded views of MOOG's superior balljoint technology, and then the part in the box is a TRW piece! Also be nice if they would paint the rubber bushing's metal housing, since it's bare steel which will rust...

Good Parts-Great Prices
I've been using Moog suspension components for over 30 years and never been dissatisfied. I did front end work for many years and Moog was what I always used.
can't beat Moog (with caveats)
I ordered and installed the left and right arms for my '96 Thunderbird, as well as a complete set of Ford strut rod bushings. There were absolutely no issues with fit.
There are a couple of things you should know about these arms, however:
1. A new nut is supplied, but it is NOT a castle nut w/cotter pin as you may read elsewhere about Moog arms. The one included in both the USA and Canadian labeled boxes is known as the prevailing torque type (crown lock) -- the Amazon photo is correct.
These nuts are difficult to install if the new ball joint's taper is not seated tightly -- the ball joint will just twist in its cup as you turn the nut. Do not discard your old non-torque nuts! The best method I've found is to use those old nuts to seat the taper very firmly (e.g., torque them to spec or near it), remove them and then the new Moog nuts can be tightened to spec with relative ease.
If you currently have torque type nuts, find a normal nut that fits...
