Federal-Mogul this year has introduced more than 130 new MOOG tie rod designs, over 120 additional sway bar links and dozens of new ball joints, coil springs, control arms, strut mounts, bushings, and other precision-engineered components. The company has added nearly 1,000 new part numbers to the MOOG product line since 2008 and nearly 2,200 over the past five years.

As the industry’s recognized “Problem Solver,” the MOOG brand specializes in developing innovative repair solutions that improve on original designs for superior performance and faster, easier installation.
