No problem on the rant.. I will have to admit that I'm surprised by Moog giving you such a short life. They build many OEM parts! So if the original lasted 20 years.. the new one should go more than 2. I would think. I did a 4X4 for a cousin 5 years ago, a ford f150, all new steering parts, it's still going strong with no problems..
If you're having problems with radiators and heater cores I would ask you if you have ever had your water tested? Could it be slightly acidic? Just searching for a cause..
I know everyone on here has had some type of issue with new parts and we all grumble about the lack of quality and/or quality control. But I also know most folks will buy the cheapest priced part over the one that costs a few dollars more. I know this is true as that's how Harbor Freight stays in business and / or even Wal-Mart! Some folks just want it cheap. So there.. That'll be my rant!
Sorry I cannot offer some profound advice. I'm wondering if there was something that you might have done during the install.?.? Everything was kept as clean as possible? Fasteners not overtorqued / overtightened??? It does seem like a long list of parts that failed... I don't know anyone who's been having so much "bad luck"....
