Default Question about Moog parts that aren't made in Japan

I just received my Moog Tie rod ends in the mail and they aren't stamped with the "555" and were made in the USA.

Does anyone have experience or know someone who used a non-Made in Japan Moog part and it totally **** out on them or had a bad experience with?

I am thinking if I should just return it and purchase it from rockautoparts. Any feedback would be great, thanks!

IIRC Moog are USA and 555 are Japan. Something happened and now they are two separate entity? Check out the past few thread, i posted pictures of the different tie rod i received. The Moog Promblem Solver had the zerk fitting while the 555 did not. Rockauto make it a nightmare so i went to autozone and picked up a tie rod. Their Duralast tie rod are 555. If you have the 555, you can always buy a zerk needle and insert some grease in.

555's and the ones made in USA are the same. Only difference is the 555 stamped on the part.
