I purchased the Moog sway bar link and quite stumped with the lack of documentation provided by the supplier.

It come with a 2 nuts a 2 grease nipples (since I don't know how to upload the photo, will make the best by writing). Anyway, the links itself have a hole to stick in the nipples but I want to understand do I have to grease it with a grease gun after put the nipple and tightening it.

I would have thought the manufacturer should have all installed with the grease in it.

Any suggestions will help.

 

I would just return them and spend the extra money for oem. If it has grease nipples than most likely you will need to get a grease gun for which you may never use again.

 

I bought is almost a yr ago and kept it in the garage. Either I use it or discard it, but then since the nipples are off from the supplier, I can apply grease (Mobil1 synthetic grease) using my fingers and then thread in the nipples for good.

 

What surprises me I got the stuff from

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/

and it is off the list of replacement items. I actually went for Moog since they are highly recommended replacement suspension manufacturer (paying a premium). Anyway, I will just apply grease into it and thread in the nipple for good and call it a day!!!

OEM links lasted 130K, if this lasts another 70K, I will be happy..

 

Installed it, pretty simple except for the nuts, with all the must and brake dust it was stuck pretty well. Penentrating fluid made it break loose.

What a difference in ride, thorougly impressed. No longer notice those little bumps, pleasant ride. Strongly recommend replacing it first if you have many miles.

In the process broke a lug nut. Idiots at Costco had over torqued it. Need to get that fixed sooner or later.

 

dont Energy Suspension make sway bar links? or is that just the sway bar end link bushings?

 

anyone know if you're suppose to add a washer or reuse oem "flange" nuts on inside of assembly? i noticed the moog kit only came with 2 flange nuts for the outside of the top and bottom.

Do not use a washer. The nuts has a rough surface to grip properly on the sway bar and the control arm. If you use a washer you'll lose part of this grip.

 

wow thanks for that i'm about to buy some washers... i keep hearing people say this moog part unscrews over a few months. any idea if i should use the moog or take it back for a "master pro" O'Reilly brand part?
