Well long story short in the two years I had them I never greased them which most likely caused premature wear which led to failure. . A couple weeks ago I had a clunking noise again and it wound up being the moog passenger side end link. Never hit any bad pothole to my recollection either.

Two years ago I replaced the endlinks along with moog cabs, tc struts, sway bar bushings and a passenger side strut mount while trying to figure out a clunking noise. Well it wound up being the sway bar bushings and my control arms have a mark to show for it. So fast forward two years later I replace the bushings again when the clunking noise returned but didnt fix it. I was so trying to diagnose it myself it seemed like it was coming from the steering shaft. No dice....replaced it and problem still persisted but surprisingly placebo effect or not my steering feels stiffer. My gf is 115 pounds so im left alone when it comes to shaking my car. I grabbed both strut towers and wiggled the car side to side and felt the clunk in my left hand aka passenger side even though the clunk sounded like it was originating from the driver side. I then laid on the ground and with the car on the ground not on jackstands and with my left hand holding components and my right hand pushing up and down on my fender carefully to shake the car and replicate the clunk. I fiinally found it coming from the endlink.

So moral of the story....if your endlinks are serviceable then service them! Time for me to go buy a grease gun.

 

Guess ill be getting one as well!

 

I haven't serviced mine either.. So what, basically you clean off the zerks, and just pump grease into it with a grease gun?

 

I have no idea, I have to figure it out. I never used a grease gun before

 

wipe off grease zerk, and unless theres something online that says how much to use, on our tractors etc I always use enoug to where I just start to see the old stuff come out, and then we consider it enough. primitive redneck measuring.

 

i do mine in late fall when i put my snow wheels/tires on and again in spring when i put my summer wheels/tires on. i also spray down my coilover spring hats with lithium grease as well

 

What 07metallic said. U could.also go.overboard and fill till new stuff is coming out

 

I just noticed I had MOOG endlinks...I was about to order some..SO I greaseed em up and am happy ;D

 

When using an electric one my rule of thumb was to stop after hearing three pumps.

 

I've always done 3 pumps at oil change. That's how the old cars were done.wipe zerk before then wipe excess after greasing.

 

I greased mine the day I put them on, and everytime I rotate the tires.

 

I havent greased mine since I got them. Looks like I'll be doing it this weekend

 

i figure once or twice a year should do it idfk though lol

 

you could always run Powergridinc. com end links and never have to worry, maintenance free. lol
