    anyone ever had experience with using the DLZ suspension parts on your mavs or comets? I don't usually go for cheap tie rods,ball joints ect. I found a company named worldsuspension ,they sell china made parts and that company is DLZ <Anyways worldsuspension has a 6 piece outer-inner tie rod set with 2 sleeves they say its a 5 yr warranty just curious if anyone has ever used them before.i think I would feel better buying moog

    Even some of the recent released MOOG parts are now made in Taiwan, have to ask to make sure you are
    buying the older made in USA parts.

    below is original message from John at Opentrackerracing, regarding Moog Lower Control Arms..........K8123 USA K8123RK Taiwan and K8123CK? check summit racing's website and can see that they have different prices for RK and CK.......

    Hi David,
    I have not seen the CK arm either so I can't comment on that. I have seen the RK arm and it is a lower quality offshore piece. It has no grease fittings in the ball joint and the frame is quite different than the K8123. The arm we sell is the US made K8123.
    Thanks,
    John

    John works out of his own shop behind their home, so just leave message/email and either John or Shari will get back to you. They could be away for the last longweekend before the kiddies go back to school. Leave a little detail info just to give them aheads up, best time to call you..........
