Moog makes pretty boxes to put Chinese parts in. Just like everyone else.

I’ve used those Moogs for several years now. No ill thoughts about them, grease every oil change and your good to go.

It appears the 'pretty boxes' applies here, but who offers a quality piece (maybe even made in America)? AC Delco?

Pieces of metal made in America? Maybe Mexico not USA.

You probably never drove past a seaport to see the mountains of scrap iron being loaded onto freighters bound for China. Not many seaports in NM.

I installed the Moog complete lower control arms a bit over a year and roughly 35 to 40,000 miles ago and they still look good as new as they should.

yes, these are the aluminum arms just like your stock LCA’s and provide the strength designed for your HHR.

these are stamped steel, I don’t recommend them at all yes they fit but they are a Cobalt part, not designed for the HHR.
