The Hotchkis sway bars I installed combined with a track day were enough to ruin the stock front end links. The Moog end links got good reviews and looked a little beefier. They also were not terribly expensive. Easy to install and so far they have held up to a few more track days with no issues.

One thing to be aware of is that they have grease ports and recommend greasing them with every oil change. I think you would probably be fine going 6 months to 1 year between lubing them. This was not an issue for me as I have a grease gun and do my own oil changes. I am sure most shops would not have an issue hitting them with a grease gun when you have the car in for maintenance if you don't have a grease gun or are not handy.

UPDATE: 1/13/18- My big Hotchkis front sway bar burned through the Moog endlinks too after a couple of track days. I think these would be ok for most people on the street or maybe with a smaller front sway bar. The massive Hotchkis front sway bar puts a lot of additional stress on the endlinks. The rubber seals on the Moog endlinks did not keep grease in them very well after a couple of years and the zerk fittings were very difficult to get to with the ZSpeed under tray. I just got some SPL endlinks with spherical bearings that I hope hold up a little better.

 

I had Moog endlinks on my last car. They are quite overbuilt. I like the fact that they have zerk fittings.

 

What type of car did you have the Moog endlinks installed?

 

My old super-buick. Thanks to GM's brilliant idea to slap a supercharger on a grandma car, that car was a straight-line sleeper that couldn't hold a straight line due to an absurd amount of torque steer. It had way more power than the granny suspension and tiny brakes were designed for, so I snagged the underpinnings off a police package Impala. I used Moog endlinks and bushings on the front and rear swaybars. Very solid. Also replaced the control arms with Moogs to help with the torque steer. After swaybars, endlinks, trailing arms, strut tower braces and cross-braces and control arms, it could actually go around a mild corner without plowing into a guardrail.

 

Glad to hear the Moog parts held up on your Buick. I was thinking Grand National or GNX, but you said supercharger. What Buick did you have?

 

Regal GS. It was the successor to the GN, in wrong wheel drive. Basically a Pontiac GTP with worse suspension and brakes.

 

Oh, that does sound bad. Glad to hear you survived that car.

 

I loved that car. It was a total sleeper, and super easy and cheap to work on. You know what all those suspension and brake components cost me? A few hundred dollars. Drop a pully size ($60) and tune it ($90 for a new ecu mailed to you) and you were in good shape. Also had comfortable heated leather seats and a sunroof. 7 years and 130k miles and the biggest repair was $300.

Crude, cheap, american motoring

 

Now you're talking!

 

I'm looking in replacing the front and rear endlinks with Moog. Do you have the part numbers?

 

They have a good search tool on their website.

I think of moog parts like OEM+. They're not super pricey high-end performance parts, but they are generally beefier, and have innovative improvements on the weak parts of the OEM design, like greasable fittings, which are nice if you keep your cars a while.

 

I just searched online for a place that carried the Moog endlinks and gave them a call to buy them. I will take a look when I get home to see if I kept the invoice.

 

Rockauto carries them.Click here. (not sure if link works)



I used them to replace my OEM ones in the front. They're great if you don't need adjustability, and mine have been through a few trackdays as well and they're holding up great.

 

Awesome, I don't really care for corner balancing, I just want stronger end links for my Hotchkis sway bars and these seem like the best option.

 

I got mine from Auto Parts Warehouse and the part numbers listed are MOK750193 and MOK750194. Not sure if those are Moog part numbers or Auto Parts Warehouse numbers though.
