Default Moser or Strange Housing Ends T-Bolts?

Hi Guys

I have ford 9 inch rear end, and I stripped one of the housing end T bolts while torquing.

I was searching for T Bolts and found the Moser ones which run for $15 a set and T bolts from Strange, which run for $30 (twice as much).

Just wondering which brand has got better quality fasteners, Moser or Strange?

When they come in the assembly kit they come in identical packaging and they even look to be the same part too. Go for price and lube it up.

The moser are fine quality. Make sure you get the right size. They come in 3/8 and 1/2, measure your housing ends to be sure.

I have seen the sample photos of both brands, the lock washers and nuts in Moser look a bit different than the ones from Strange. Maybe the actual items look the same as you said.

So you recommend to go with Moser?
