Get the TRW if there is an option. Same parent company and nearly or actually identical parts. I’m not sure what happened by now but they were discontinuing that line of chassis products. At a certain point in time when I worked there we got some moog boxes with sharpies part numbers, the parts were actually TRW. So that was a nonsense markup. But yeah, moog is good stuff. ---

IIRC moog is contracted by a number of car manufacturers for OEM parts. ---
