I finally got my parts I imported in for my I30. I bought Moog swaybar endlinks and bushings. However, I noticed that one of the endlinks is about twice as stiff as the other. Did I get a bad one or one just needs more grease in it? I really hope not cuz I already paid alot of money getting the parts imported here.

 

most of the new end links i get a very stiff at first, sometimes i have to use pliers to hold the end to get it to move around. after a few turns left and right, up and down, they are good to install. they should be fairly stiff. last thing you want is to install loose end links.

 

^^ Concur.

Shoulda gotten ES bushings though.

 

I installed them today and I will say it was badly needed. the old endlinks took no effort to move and the passenger side swaybar bushing was in two pieces. I also found out that the previous owner put on KYB GR2 struts on it. Now to find out whats making noise in the rear.

 

Congrats, mine is still in boxes waiting to be installed soon...
