Wrong manufacturer. Get your money back or toss them. Crown is junk. Get some good name brand. Went to Mt. Cheaha a couple of years ago. Pretty area

Thanks Belizean, should have known better, but was putting a cart together on Morris and threw them in as old ones are sloppy.
NAPA supposedly has them in stock local. Will report back in the am if they are decent and/or correct taper.
Didn’t want to work on her this weekend just enjoy it- these were my last safety punch list item.

Yep, MOOG is the way to go. The couple of dollars in price difference is worth it. I replaced my tie rods a couple of months ago with MOOG and they went in with zero problems.

I have been waiting for this. I bet you could wax eloquent on how crappy Omix and Crown are when you get a few beers in you.

I'd buy a round just to listen in!

I don't disagree, in general Omix/Crown are bottom of the barrel garbage but sometimes they are the only ones that make a particular part if you are unable/unwilling to fabricate a part.
I would love to see some of the quality aftermarket parts outfits make some of the more esoteric replacement parts.
