I am looking to replace my suspension and was looking at control arms on Rockauto.com Can anyone tell me the difference between these two control arms? They are both from the left side for comparison.

MOOG Part # RK620353

MOOG Part # CK620353

 

I wanted to know also. I think the cheaper one is made in China and the more expensive one is the normal made in USA quality.

 

I ordered OEM, when it comes to the really important stuff...it's well worth it.

 

Info on the differences is hard to find. About all I could find out is that the part that starts with the letter C is Moog's "Problem-Solver" line. I found a comment that these parts are made in the USA, but not much else.

Greasable ball joint?

 

Just to put this out there about quality parts . . .

I used Napa LCAs about 3 months ago. The driver's side bushing is going bad again. No oil leaking on it. Not happy.

Usually I consider Napa to be fairly high quality so I'm not too happy. That's a labor intensive job.

Anyway, I guess I will get my unorthodox racing bushings pressed into my old lcas.

 

After doing a search, which I should have done before posting this question, I learned that you are correct. The more expensive LCA, known as the "Problem Solver" has the grease fitting for the ball joint.
