Astonishing find! Front Sway Bar Links

[HKPRO5]

So a few months ago I was changing the front endlinks on my mother in law's 2002 Ford Escape. These endlinks only cost $11 per side so about $22 total.

They fit perfectly, I have been running them for about 6 months now.


So go down to your local Checker/Oriley, Autozone, Napa or what evers. Tell them you want front endlinks for a 2002 Ford Escape.

Its worth it!. 1/3 the price of an oem!

endlinks are pretty universal. ive been buying the energy suspension ones that are universal fit and out on the floor at parts store for $18 bux a pair! and there thicker then OEM, with poly bushings! all at half the price.

Based on HKPRO5's tip, and my upcoming MSP suspension install, I picked these up today at Autozone for $10 each. They're HUGE, easily twice as thick as OEM, with much beefier looking ends, and included grease ports!!! Pretty crazy! These are Moog brand, whatever that means, 1 year warranty.



Quarter included for thickness reference.

Now someone needs to find the substitute for the rear. since HKPRO is being a slacker.

good man!!! i really wanted to replace these but had no clue what they'd cost (assumed alot) and i didn't want to just get some oem replacements cause they are kinda wimpy in size and also the custom ones you can buy for lowering our cars i think are pricey as well (not sure just assuming) either way, GOOD FIND i'll pick some up tomorrow (bump)(humpleg)

OEM Mazda just for 1 front it's $40, so $80 just for the front.

Oh btw I still have my custom rears. Until those go I won't be trying to get them. Haha

just got back from discount advanced auto parts and they wanted 16.29 a piece for the cheapest ones, next up was 18.99 then like 20 and finally like 22 per endlink

 

[-Batman-]

just called Autozone and they wanted 17.00 a piece per endlink

how did you guys get these for 10 a piece?? i called autozone like 30 min. ago and they said 17 a piece for the cheapest one AND that they would have to order it from the manufacturer - it wasn't something they stock

maybe its cause i live in florida...

These are Moog brand, whatever that means, 1 year warranty.

Moog is an extremely large company that specializes in aftermarket steering and suspension components. They've got a sticker on the side of many race vehicles as a sponsor and have been around for a very long time.

well that's even better, then. I wonder If Duralast just sources from multiple vendors. Regardless, these things are so huge I have no doubt they'll last longer than my car.

Advance Auto is having their 10 off 30, 20 off 50, or 20% and more sale. If they have these endlinks and you need other stuff in addition to them, it might be a good time to buy. Here's the slickdeals link for more info:

Good find. Man you got the endlinks on lock down. Haha!

I did the MSP suspension install last weekend (thanks o.g.sk8ter!). It went really smooth, BUT...unfortunately we couldn't get the front endlinks off the sway, so we just kept em on. I was set to just use the Moogs regardless of what condition the old ones were in, but it wasn't worth the hassle.

So no side by side pics. We did compare em, and they're less than a half in shorter than OEM. They should work just fine, and are DEFINATELY higher quality than OEM.

Super beefy right!
