Moog is fine. Just don’t use the moog ball joints and install Sankei 555 or OEM ball joints and you’ll be fine. I am running Moog Suspention and Sankei ball joints. 4 years no issues.

Moog used to be good but I’ve had weird quality issues with them.
Original OE ball joint failed at around 100,000 . Replaced uppers and lowers with Moog premiums , I now have 218,000 on the truck. I just checked em when I replaced steering rack bushings and there\u2019s no movement.
I use MOOG problem solvers replace and inspect them every 4 years. I can replace both sides in a little under an hour. I prefer MOOG’s design and like that they are greaseable over the sealed OEM design.
Moog parts are dogshit these days unfortunately. I have failed to learn my lesson like 3x now, I keep losing ball joints and tie rods at like 30k.
For Honda Accord/TL/TSX, all the aftermarket ball joints are junk. In my personal experience, Moog lower ball joints last 2-3 years, while most other brands will last a year or less.
Get new moog ball joints.
Moog parts K80026.. Harbor Freight press. The ball joint is pre greased that’s why the end looks like that. Turns out the top joint was bad. Got a replacement & everything worked. Now the ABS light is turned on and off.
Ive done this. That doesnt look seated. Isnt there a snap ring that secures that? How are you getting the pats in and out? I used a hydraulic press to get them apart, then used a Harbor Freight screw press to put them in. I think I had to clean up the holes with emery paper or a sanding drum and drill to get the joints to seat. I used Moog parts.
I would just avoid MOOG. For about 5 years every moog item with a ball joint I've installed failed early, so I stopped recommending MOOG around the time COVID started.
