I just had to replace both upper control arms, and after scowering the net for the best price for a quality NON OEM product, I found that MOOG is offered through Advance Auto Parts, but contacting them to Price match from Summit Racing will yield the lowest possible price. Summit Racing doesn't have them in stock, but sell each side for $115.97 with free shipping currently. Advance Auto will price match it (online order only) and ship it to your house for that same price + tax if applicable. Advance has them in stock, that is why you would order through them and not Summit. Advance Auto price is $225 which comes down to $115.97+ tax shipped to your house. That's $230 for both upper control arms by Moog. I was unable to find a better price for a better product anywhere.

The Part Numbers are below:

Right side (passenger) RK620653
Left side (driver) RK620654

thanks for sharing. from what i've read, Moog's quality has shifted over the years. let us know what country they are manufactured in, and your experience with it during installation.

yeah! - what he said!

I've seen people say that but I've never seen it backed up with actual evidence that the new moog is lower quality than old moog. To many unknowns to validate that claim imo. The ones i purchased are made in Taiwan.

Installation was a perfect fit and a visual inspection looks promising!

it helps if you enter in the year of your LS and applicable part numbers in the post...

interesting! - unlike China, made in Taiwan is a very good sign!

I did a lot of research into "moog failures" recently and almost every negative thing I have read about Moog parts comes from idiots using them outside the range of reality (unaligned monster truck lift on HUGE off road tires), because of a user install error (not torquing bolts properly, failure to install cotter pins or re-installing OLD cotter pins, drunkenly driving into crap (actually was quite common, lol), over tightening and bottoming out the Zerk-fittings and/or failure to lube part properly), or just reposting hearsay without any actual factional evidence... Like we had and have in here with the Arnott UCA failures which was undoubtedly a PART issue.

That's part of the reason I started the above linked thread, to get everyone to chime in with the aftermarket options and updates on them over the years. Get some real feedback on parts rather than have to listen to people say stuff without any proof to back it up.

My moog UCA was made in Canada.
