STARK components

Morning, I ordered a set of Moog track rod ends for the 75, from a well known on line retailer. Without my knowledge they have replaced them with, and sent, STARK ones. Come with 3 year warranty BUT has anyone ever used them, are they any good? Price point wise we’re apparently the same as Moog, but the prices of parts on line appear to yo-yo throughout the day with varying amounts of ‘discounts’ available.

i would expect them to be ok. its a lottery anyway. 3 yr warranty so print or save your dated receipt and chance them. i have just changed my inners and outers from DMGRS and they looked good quality. strangely my old TRW originals were still serviceable and have been put away for spares as they were originals and rubbers ... yes they were rubber stamped TRW ... joints and covers still ok. ...

most of mats parts at DMGRS are XPART stuff as he is now an XPART part dealer. so cheaper than rimmer bros , service is good and quality on par. if you can get better all well and good but its just finding them ..

It's so hard now to know if what you're buying is any good. There's so many new names appearing in the aftermarket field, it's impossible to sort the wheat from the chaff as its a buy before you try, or even see, with the Internet.

If they look OK then give them a go.
