Moog End Links

Hello guys,
It seems I am having bad days. timing chain job done and due to some short circuit my main battery fuse blown. Went to Dealership for the parts and asked them to check for any short/open circuits. Good that everything is in good shape but they mentioned - my right inner cv boot needs to be replaced.

I was thinking to do all the work together so searching on the Moog products.

They have - front End links ( driver/passenger ) and rear endlinks and tie rod.

These are really cheap from Rockauto. My stock parts are not worn out but car has 90K miles. Do you guys think the entire Moog setup will do something better or thats just waste for money or I should get rear sway bar - progress ?
All ideas/advise welcome.
Also, I cant find the cv boot part number anywhere - not even after market ? can anyone help ? I know I could call the dealership but if anyone knows that would help (I hate to call dealerships )

if they are fine, it wont make a difference to replace.... I did it, no difference.

rockauto is cheap though. They rip off canadian customers with shipping so I cant order from them, too expensive.

I replaced my endlinks with Moog endlinks with the grease fittings... which reminds me I need to grease them again. My OEM endlink's joints had frozen up and didn't move freely and made noise. The Moog have much thicker shafts than OEM and I think that they give a better response to swaybar input. My 2 cents.

Yes I did feel a difference, the steering is more responsive (not Porsche-like) but better and the knuckles don't freeze/bind and pop when turning the wheel.

Yep, they were shot. With the better build quality the Moogs should outlast OEMs by several years and many many thousands of miles.

I agree, moog is an upgrade from oem... Did the fronts and rears, feels alot better. My oems weren't shot yet, and I still felt a difference switching over to moog.
