1997reduxe Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I was looking at the ball joints on rockauto for my 95 Legacy, and they have Moog which are described as "Estate" from 1994? But for 12 bucks? It almost seems worth it to try them. Can you regrease the Legacy joints? It says they can be on the bj info/pic, but it just seems a copy of the other Moog ones, the new ones... ?

Fairtax4me Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think they're referring to euro spec parts with that listing. I can't say with any certainty that they would be the same. But I really can't imagine that they're any different. I've placed many orders with Rockauto over the last few years and my only gripe about them is shipping is fairly expensive and often slow, but for certain parts the savings they offer over local places is worth the wait.

naru Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) "Estate" = stationwagon Send them more cash if that makes you feel better. Edited May 30, 2012 by naru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbennett2u Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Ordered a radiator from rockauto, just make sure what you buy is small/light enough that you can ship it back for a reasonable amount of money if it fails within warranty period. My rad failed after less than a year and I would have had to find a new box and pay for return shipping on a radiator. Not happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1997reduxe Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well, to kind of answer my own question, I think in this case Estate means that they inherited or have a supplier who did, some parts from a previous seller who went defunct, bought out etc., and so they have these old parts lying around that still could be used. In this case the Estate ones have a date that they're from 1994, for 12 bucks apiece, but the regular new Moog ball joints are 30 per. That's the reason I was asking about the regreasing them. In the pic/promo that accompanies the ones on the site, they say Moogs have grease fittings, but are the ball joints on Legacies generally greased or serviced in that way? I could imagine the grease would be pretty well shot sitting since 1994. Thanks. '97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $13 listing IS for regular new Moog ball joints. They fit US and Canadian legacys from 09/94 up. They fit US and Canadian legacy wagons (estates) from 09/94 up. The listing is pretty clear. Just because they fit a late 94 doesn`t mean they were manufactured in 94.LOL. The $30 one is thier up market "problem solver". Estates (wagons) are not mentioned in this case because they fit all legacys from 09/94 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
