I am going to order 4 Monroe Quick Struts (includes shock/strut coil spring boots and mounts) and am thinking about just spending the extra dough to replace the other parts around it just because it should be overlapping labor.

So... This means buying new sway bar bushings, sway bar end link kit, and control arms.. (anything else I'm missing?).

So... Is Moog a good brand for sway bar parts? And does AC Delco make good control arms?

Thoughts, suggestions welcome.

 

I can't speak about Moog sway bar parts. AC Delco is a reputable company you can trust. I personally wouldn't question anything they sell. My trusted mechanic suggested me to use Beck Arnley control arms. I replaced both of my front lower control arms with Beck Arnleys and couldn't be happier. It improved my steering significantly. You can get them from RockAuto.com for $90 a piece.

 

Moog is good. I used them for my swaybar end links. Still doing well.

 

Last question, when I order sway bar bushings or sway bar end link kit, do I need to order 2? Or do the kits come with 2? It doesn't seem to specify.

 

Each end link kit is sold separately...1 for each side.

 

You may as well get the inner and outer tie rods if they haven't been replaced because you will need and alignment when you are done.Inner tie rods are tough to do with out the tie rod removal tool. Then all your steering and suspension will all be done. I did this to my car and I swear it rides and tracks like a new car. Good luck.
