Questions & Answers
I'm not sure why, but they didn't fit on my car, despite Amazon's assurance that they would. It's the same story for a lot of the parts I bought on Amazon, so I gave up. I will never again order from Amazon.
My 2010 Avalanche 2WD was able to use them. I'd double-check with the dealer to see if the 2WD and 4WD parts are interchangeable.
I do not believe that is the case but I am not 100%. It's what I got for my 89 S15, and it's fantastic. I didn't like how the white "popped" out among the blacked-out areas.
Not sure. It's possible to find it on the websites of Oreilly or Rock Auto.
Selected User Reviews For MOOG K700538 Stabilizer Bar Link Kit
For my 2013 Chevy Tahoe, I bought two of these. To clarify, you only get one end link when you buy a single kit (as they call it). You'll need two of these if you're replacing both sway bar end links. However, I have relied on Moog products for replacement suspension pieces for many years and will continue to do so in the future. For many years, these kits have been a great upgrade to a high failure rate OE part on most of the 1/2 ton GM line. My wife is the primary driver of our Tahoe, and she recently reported what sounded like bombs going off under the truck, primarily while cornering. Sway bar end links were my first guess, and it turned out to be correct. I discovered that the passenger side link had completely snapped in half and that half of it was missing, so I purchased two of these end links as well as some Moog sway bar bushings to upgrade everything while I was there. It's a good thing I replaced both sides, because the driver's side wasn't likely to last much longer anyway. The bolt had corroded to the point where a large portion of it had to be replaced. The truck now has a fantastic cornering feel, and the bombs are no longer present. These links have yet another advantage. MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!.
8L) and was a simple fix. 3L)br>br>During the installation of new tires, the tire installer noticed that both sway bar end links were broken. For installation, he quoted me $130. I ordered two of these moogs from Amazon to replace the stock ac delcos that had failed. br>br>Arrived in two days, unpacked box, cut off the old ones because they were broken but rusted on, so keep a hacksaw or sawzall handy just in case and to speed up the job. A ratchet and 14mm socket, as well as a 15mm open end wrench, are required. as well as about ten minutes of your time. Simply construct it as you go, then hand tighten the first side, then the second, and crank them down to the specified tightness in the directions. br>br>This is a very simple job; save money by doing it yourself.
These are incredibly simple to set up. I think it took me about 15 minutes per side, and I didn't even have to remove the tire or use a jack. I've read other reviews that claim the bushings are brittle and break easily. My first reaction is to double-check and read the instructions to see how tight they should be. There will be no more than two turns after flush. Keep an eye out for the washers and the orientation.
The stabilizer link hardware is removed to make room for strut removal when replacing old struts and springs. I usually change the stabilizer bar link hardware while it's apart. br>I installed them, but kept the old stabilizer bushings and hardware. They were in like-new condition and far more durable than the Moog kit. When it comes to getting replacement parts, it can be hit or miss. It was a miss this time, and I would advise using GM factory parts on these stabilizer links. I decided to recycle the Moog kit instead of trying to return it.
When one of my factory sway bar end links broke, I bought these to replace it. It's very simple to put together, and while the cost is low, the quality is not. Replace both of them, even if only one is broken, and the sway bar bushings while you're at it. It's very simple to do all of these things. Just make sure that neither end link is tightened until both are in place so that you can raise and lower the bar enough to get the other side in. This product is highly recommended, as it is significantly less expensive than the original.
These are a big improvement over the stock plastic supports, which I've seen break and wear out on other cars. It took me about 15 minutes to switch things out. Each of these comes in a package of one. Advantages: br>br> br>Inexpensive part upgradebr>Much more durable than OEMbr>Easy to install, simply follow the instructionsbr>br>Cons: I don't want them to get dirty because they look so nice mentally! None at all.
These were purchased to replace OEM parts that were no longer available. The OEMs didn't appear to be bad, but since I was replacing the control arms, I figured I'd swap them out as well. The bolt was severely corroded when I removed the OEMs, so I'm glad I got new ones. These appear to be of higher quality than the originals. The spacer is metal, as opposed to the plastic OEM part, and while the instructions aren't great, I believe most people can figure it out. The nut side of the coin rises.
These were installed on my 2012 Sierra, which has 65k miles on it. Although the OEM links were still functional, I wanted to see if these would stiffen up the front end, which they did. These are a nice complement to the hellwig sway bar I installed in the back. br>Because the OEM links were rusted in, I had to hack them all off with a saw. Aside from that, it was a breeze to set up!.
