[V8] Springs and Suspension

9 times out of 10 those knockoff mounts are the early style like the  
5k/100/200 not the upgraded V8/200q20v mounts. Use the wrong mounts and change  
them again in a year or so.

Hi,  I am getting two new Moog lower control arms installed by  a Sears 
mechanic, 
because they will do two for about $200. I have been  wondering about the 
thunking sounds as I turn over bumps and go up the  curb into the driveway. 
Must 
be the ball joints.

I 
guess they  are Chinese. I always fall for the OEM quality claims, along 
with lowest  
price. Are they any good?
