Default Moog UCA any good?

I am replacing my Suspension as the car is high in miles.

Are the moog UCA's any good?

I do plan on dropping on coilovers with 20's.

Moog makes quality parts so i would buy with confidence. I have Moog lbj's and haven't had any problems. Parts directly from Japan.

Yup, I'm running Moog LBJ and very happy with the quality I was gonna get them for the UCA too but opp'd for SPC adjustable ones instead.

I'm also running Moog LBJ, front and rear sway bar end links...very satisfied with the quality. I can't comment on the UCA, but I wouldn't doubt it will quality as well.

Moog is the way to go for everything that its available, unless you need even more adjustabilty. Moog goes above and beond when it comes to designing parts. They always improve uppon stock, making what ever it is stronger and longer lasting.

Stay with OEM when it comes to the UCA's. Save up and pay the price.

By the way, the OEM UCA comes from Germany. The MOOG one, which is half the price comes from Japan....

You decide

did anyone ever actually find Moog UCA's for the 2GS? wanna do them on my '03 gs430.I looked around a lot of places online but haven't found them anywhere. starting to think that's the one GS front susp. component they don't make... if anyone has a direct link to a place that has them in stock it'd be much appreciated.

thanks

They are. All suspension is interchangeable with the GS.

According to Sewell a 1999 gs400 rh UCA is 4861039085 and it's the same part number for a rh UCA on a 2002 gs430. I have no idea why rockauto list the UCA from moog on the gs400 and not on the gs430
