ya i put in the moog's and love them, also if the turning noise is the same as what i have it won't fix that problem. i've narrowed it down to either a hub or bushings. as there is no sign of axle binding or any rub marks.

Replaced an endlink via suggestion, as noise went away per disconnected swaybar. Now complete with Moog it still exists and is worsening. Would hate to replace other endlink without the play and discover it's something else. Agree on replacing in pairs but throwing $100 to not fix it is risky. This damn car!

For the people who keep asking. Carquests and napa's seem to be a good place to get them.

Just call and ask if they have moog parts in stock.

Its been a bit but I think I got mine from carquest for 60 bux total.

Whats the part number for those endlinks? im currently lookin into purchasing these endlinks for my 06 SS S/c. i know there are 2 different types of moog endlinks that are FE5 and they are different sizes. i want to make sure im buying the correct endlinks. having trouble findin pictures on sites when im about to order them. Those are the nice stronger/thicker endlinks with greasable fittings.

Sorry I honestly threw the boxes away long ago.

However you should be able to go into the store and verify the correct endlink length pretty easily. To my knowledge FE1 and FE3 lengths are the same. So Just have them bring out a set of FE1/3 links and a set of FE5 lengths. Theres only 1 FE5 suspension for each year of production. So just pick the shorter length set that they have. Sorry not very precise but it will work. The picture above is an FE3 off of an 08 Sport compared to an FE5 link (thanks again to maven on the recommendation). I think I asked for an 06-07 FE5 link.

Ok so I've got an 08 sport with the FE3 setup. I'm going to be lowering the car this spring around 1.5 to 2 inches all around. Will a set of FE5 endlinks, moog or powergrid bolt right up or do I need to set them up?

^^Also above posted depending on what I find out I'd be interested in your links if your still selling them or they are still for sale.

Well, all I can tell you is I'm an 06 SS 2.4 (stock FE3's) and now running FE5 t/c's with B&G's. These were the right ones for me. Honestly, you'll be able to tell real quick before you start removing anything. Either they're gonna fit or they're not..
