MOOG Control Arms

Has anyone here installed front control arms from MOOG? I am looking for an alternative to Lemfoerder.

I used MOOG control arms and ball joints on my Chrysler 300 with great results. I only use Mercedes OEM parts on my S600.

Reviving this. Any luck with the moog front control arms? I'm also considering mevotech as moog doesn't have the rearward control arm for the 4matic. Not too interested in paying 450$ per control arm (x4) at MB to freshen up the front end but I also don't want to use a subpar part.

I have used Delphi before and they were fine. About to do a full front rebuild on my 07 S550 base and I went all Lemfoerder. I think I am about $900 all in, for the front, in parts and that includes a new sway bar.

I haven't changed mine yet. I get a noise at speed bumps when the weather is cold. One mechanic told me that I can drive it this way. I only put about 5k miles per year so for now I won't change them.

You need to check your sway bar bushing, it will make noise on cold wheather due to dry rubber

In the end the difference between MOOG and Lemforder was about $150 for all front lower arms. I ordered the Lemforders with lifetime warranty. When you factor in the labor, it is only about 15% more in total.
