I see a lot of worry about Chinese parts being put in our cars.. McQuay-Norris has been making parts for a long time right in Illinois.. Try PartsAmerica.com for the best prices..I just got 4 tierods and sleeves, center link and idlerarm for the racecar. Took 3 days to get here.:TU:
Won't let me post 2 pics in a message.. But here is the difference between the new stuff and the stock parts on the car.
No!!! uzzled: Actually I carpeted the garage seeing I'm laying on the floor in there more than in my bed. p p
David Are these parts better than Moog and if they are what are the part numbers for the front end. I will be needing parts for my 71 GS 350 with a 4 speed. Thanks, George
George if you go to Parts America.com and just click the shop by brand link and choose Mcquay-Norris.. Then when you choose a part it asks the year make and model of the car. Simple. :TU:
The new parts look much better as far as the castings go . Thanks for the pics and the tip . I'd never heard of them . Steve
I've had them on my other GS for a couple years now and they are still nice and tight. And I beat the crap out of it. p p
I am not as familiar with your brand but Moog makes high quality made in US parts that I have always used and I think MOOG looks closer to stock. I believe MOOG may have been GM supplier for our cars as well.
Funny that I just seen this post. I just got both sides inner and outer tie rods from that company. Gonna install them this weekend. But I bought the hotchkiss solid sleeves for the tie rods. The tie rods were cheaper than moog by over $15 a piece at O'reillys. You said you replaced the center link that connects the tie rods together didn't you? You take a picture and post it here for me so I can see difference on stock. I might go ahead and replace the rest too.
Im with copperheadgs, I like the moogs and you can still find them cheap on ebay if you understand all the vehichles they interchange with. Here's a thread that shows interchangeability http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=134339 As a follow up, the 71-2's outers are different from previous models. I dont have my moog catalog in front of me, but I think there es406
Guys I believe these are the correct Moog parts for 70-72 Buicks Skylarks/GS ES406L - Inner Tie Rod ES406R - Outter Tie Rod ES2004S - Adj Sleeve DS749 - Center Link K5143 - Idler Arm Hope this helps George
Ok I understand that 70 is different on the outer tie rods froma 71/72 right? Whats the difference. I have some new 70 stuff but not for my 72 yet.
