I'm looking into getting some new swaybar endlinks (broke one a few days ago ) and when I was shopping around for the best price, I noticed that there was an option for the Moog FE5 Standard and Moog FE5 for cars with 'Sport Suspension' or something along those lines.. both of these are for the SS.
What is the difference? Is one shorter than the other?
I was just confused because I thought all SS's had the same suspension.. FE5. But there are two FE5 'sub category' options.
I'm looking to replace the endlinks on my base model, so which ones should I get?
Thanks!

 

i just bought some of these about a month ago. a good bit bigger than stock. the fe3 and fe5 are different. the fe5 are shorter. the fe5s are for sc ss balts and the fe3s are for 2.4s i believe. i know this bc i got the fe3s first for my car and they didnt fit.
just read you have a base model. im not sure if the moog will fit if you have a base model though. i think you have fe1

theres another company that makes sway bar links. cant remember the name though. oreilys carries moog and the other brand. but moog is only for s and ss models i think

 

My car is lowered about 2.5ish inches, so I need the shorter FE5 links. The reason I snapped my first set was because I didn't replace them after my drop, and.. well.. snap.. haha.
I'm just curious why there are two different FE5 link options.

 

its not two different fe5. one is fe3 sport or ss and one is fe5 sc ss

 

When I went to Advanced Auto their computer said 'Moog FE5 for Sport Suspension' and 'Moog FE5 for Standard Suspension' (Something along those lines.. like I said)
That's why I was confused. They both definitely said FE5.. I checked and double checked and then triple checked haha.

 

the best adj ones are powergrid..

Sorry, but what does this do? I am replacing my FE3's with FE5's to go with my Sportlines. I was suggested to do this and the poly mounts.. How will these help me? And easy install??

 

Its a stronger endlink, and its greasable, which tends to be preferred over the sealed units. ANd its a 5 minute deal Unbolt your old endlinks, blt these in their place

 

is there a way to look at ur endlinks and tell if they are bad??

 

looking, visable damage is all. most of the time if they are bad they will make noise, so listen up!

my FE5 end links for my ion redline, quite a bit shorter and more beefy

 

from what ive read, if you hear a clunking when going over bumps then theyre bad.

 

wow that's a big pic, my bad!

 

well it does make a noise when going over bumps...but it also makes a noise when i turn..sounds like a chain pulling a roller coaster up

lol thats what i have right now. as soon as i go home im about to change them.

 

u got both noises i got??? let me know if it fixes the problem if so ill order them tonight lol

 

yeah both of them. over bumps it sounds like a clunk and when i take off or turn it like squeals. im up at school now, probably wont be able to change them out for a couple weeks.

 

go home now!!!!!! lol

 

i wish i could. its been driving me nuts! lol

 

when u take off does ur steering wheel shake a little bit??

 

the endlinks are a great suspension addition and i got a weird noise similar to yours but to me sounds more like a rubbing noise. im thinking its the sway bar bushings as there is no rubbing marks anywhere on my vehicle.

 

Get the powergrid ones.

 

u dont tell me what to do!!!

 

powergrid:$160
Moog:$55

 

i dunno the powergrids just seem like a waste of money to me for something that the average driver won't take full advantage of
