Oooooh, the 'famous' Moog problem solver end link. Maybe not so good after all! Sucks when you have to buy twice. Hope this one lasts a little longer....Bob
 
Moog's blue thermoplastic rubber bushings suck. After three blowouts, changed to poly.

Reused the 7/16" Moog hardware and substituted with ES heavy duty bushings. (9.8103)

Thanks swshawaii. Will look into getting the bushings. Dont want to have to replace these again in a few months....
 
If you order the ES sway bar bushings the come with new end links.

True Rodger. Difference is the ES link bolts are 3/8" vs. Moog's 7/16". Also the ES

end link kits use their smaller bushings. I believe Moog's "cupped" washers may contribute

to faster wear, especially if over tightened. I torque the poly to 20 ft/lbs. with no problems.

And yes, I left a review and gave the bushings FIVE stars. LOL :banana:
