Hi All,
I replaced the upper control arms on our 99 Accord LX around 4 years ago and the driver's side has once again a split boot. I think the issue was because I didn't raise the lower control arm up when I tightened up the bolt for the upper control arm and some grease seeped out. So I am looking to save some money as my father puts around 3,000 miles a year on it.
I was looking at RockAuto and see the Moog ones go for around $55. I do have a question though. It looks like there are two part numbers one with the "R series" and one without. I am guessing the R series is just a cheaper version. Should I go with the more expensive $80 one instead? It still will be half the cost of OEM. I just don't want to be replacing the R series in 4 years again (if the car is still around).
