As you can probably tell in this video, I’m pretty mad at MOOG. Normally I wouldn’t call out a company like this, but enough is enough. If it was one part that didn’t work, that would be one thing, but for me, this has been several parts over the years that I’ve had trouble with, all with the name MOOG on the box.
Have you had issues with parts from a particular company? If so, please share those experiences in the comments.
