Im going to get my strut mounts from them...$42 for 2 of them

 

My favorite way of checking stabilizer bar links is to grab a buddy, and grab hold of the link while they bounce the car up + down.

 

Going to my buddy's house today. We are going to check the and links and bushings. God I hope it's an easy simple fix

 

End links are simple. Just pull on them. I'm literally replacing mine tonight cause they went. Then putting new springs on after that.

 

I'm hoping it is the end links. The local auto store has them in stock

 

Literally just tug it back and forth while your wheel is on. If it makes the same noise that's what it is. You won't be able to hear it if the wheel is jacked up. At least not on mine.

 

Tug on the endlink itself?

Not really that familiar with suspension. My buddy who is helping me knows more.

 

Yep, and tug on the sway bar as well.

 

Well i gave it a few tugs. No noise what so ever. Dammit

This is driving me nuts. Its not a super loud clunk but when im in traffic and creeping doin about 10mph i can here the sound, im in the fast lane and the sound bounces off the median.

edit: well,i gave it another go. tugged,pulled,pushed and nothing! i have to bring my car to the dealership for the key ignition to get replaced. i may just have them look and see if they can figure out what it is and if it is something simple,i will replace it.

 

i'm having the same issue, going to try the moog endlinks. should i be going for the 9.86" long ones or the 11.8"? my car is a 2.2 that i will be putting FE5 shocks/struts on with Pedders

 

Get the longer ones...i have the shorter ones and my sway bar clunks over bumps on something now

 

If you are going to install the FE5 suspension you will want the FE5 Moog Endlinks.

No.

You have the FE3 suspension which requires the longer endlinks (unless you modfied your suspension?).

If it is clunking, check to make sure the bolts are torqued to spec (55 ft-lbs.)

 

sorry but not sure which are the FE5's. I was looking at ZZP and they simply have the two different lengths, I don't see anywhere differentiating between FE1/3/5. is the shorter one for the FE5 suspension? thanks for your help

Moog - MOOG Front Sway Bar End Link #MOOG-K750012

 

The shorter ones are the FE5 links.

Again, ZZP should not have them listed under one part number.

The FE5 part number is MOOG-K750012.

The FE1/FE3 has a different part number.

It can confuse some people.

 

awesome, thanks for clearing that up. i'm assuming then that i should be swapping out the FE1 links for those then even if they're not busted (ie source of the clunking) to match the new FE5 setup right?

 

Yea, if you are going to be using an FE5 suspension def pick up the FE5 endlinks.

 

placing the order right now, thanks for the help dude

 

No problem man.

If you need any help with the install hit me up.

 

just an update, installed the new links along with the rest of the FE5/pedders setup this weekend and all went well. haven't driven it much since the install but so far there has been no more clunking (knock on wood)

 

Nice!

Good to hear.

 

ps many people have had trouble getting the nuts off of the link bolts, but with an impact driver it's a piece of cake. bought an electric one for the suspension job and IMO it paid for itself already with how much time and effort it saved me. worth it!!!
