This conversation is about Moog tie rods, but the situation lends itself to every part. MVS Forums Contributor and various-Volvo-electronic-parts-servicer Matty warns us DIY’ers to beware the parts swap scam:
This is what people do… A lot.
Buy a set of cheap tie rod ends at Autozone and buy a set of moogs at advance auto. Install the moogs, put the cheap tie rod ends in the Moog box and return them. Chain store clerks usually have no idea what is supposed to be in there, they just see parts.
Were they really Moog brand tie rods?.
