Yeppur, here's a "DIY" link:

ck out MOOG brand replacement parts for anything with the sway bars
Also easier to tighten than stock design

^ Mevotech Sway Link are also beefier design and Cheaper than Moog! Pretty satisfied with them.

Do you feel any difference with the beefier endlinks or beefier means more reliable and harder to fail?

^More durable and easier to tool on.

I’ve personally been disappointed with Moog’s endlinks, every time I have gone back to remove them after a period of time that inner nut strips...that’s happened 3-4 times. Haven’t heard of Mevotech, I’ll check that out.

Skirmich

Doesn't feel any different from OEM but the craftsmanship and the Beefier Link seems more reliable/durable than OEM. I'm just over 10K with them and No problems at all! They are also Grease-able which is a plus for longevity.




The parts are:
FRONT DRIVER: MK90341
FRONT PASSENGER: MK90340
REAR DRIVER: MK90343
REAR PASSENGER: MK90342


They hover in the 18-22 bucks a piece, 2-5 dollars cheaper than MOOG but Same Quality if not Better.

Skirmich
