    T100

    Being Moog (parent company is Federal Mogul (Tenneco Inc.) who also owns Beck/Arnley) changed their business model a few years back and really do not make anything anymore, I assume the ball joints you received were marked 555 (Sankei 555)?

    How often do folks get flat tires (or need to use a winch)?

    Warning, little help?

    Just a quick google search shows the TC also buys from Jinan Bullex. Very possible that JB is a trading company and not a manufacture. Good luck getting your money back, maybe you will have more success contacting them now that CNY is over.

    First Success w/ Fast Charge EV Batts? Could be HUGE game changer!

    She is an ABC (always be charging) type person. Can't change that. We won't own the vehicle long enough to matter. Probably trading it off in summer '21.
