That does not make them OEM quality.

The OEM UCA's are made by TRW,TRW is a sub-company of MOOG.The crappy OEM LBJ's are also made by MOOG.

Troy, dealing with 1:1 cars and RC cars, you have to know that just because they're made by the OEM doesn't make them the same quality. Especially outer tie rod ends...where I work, we deal with a parts house that gets two brands from Moog. One never has the right-size castle nut, but the Moog one does. Go figure.

the Himoto 1/8 buggies are made by the same OEM that makes a ton of other cars that you'd crap yourself if you knew who made parts for...but it's a piece of CRAP.

Saying that it's as good as the OEM UCA's is like saying an '81 Citation is as good as a 2009 Corvette because they're made by the same company
