Moog Vs generic

So i need to replace my pitman arm, idler arm, and outer tie rod ends and i was doing some research into prices

is there any reason i shouldnt get the autozone ore oriellys brand vs a moog components? they all have lifetime warranties but moog runs almost double if not more than the others??

havent checked rockauto yet but i suspect will be similar

i can do it for 100-115 for house brand and 280 for moog??

haha shhh

youre gonna need all those parts eventually lol.

if you compare a moog part to a regular no-name part you should be able to tell that the moogs seem noticeably beefier.
