Guest Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I just got the Moog fronts and rears. They are the new beefier design. The Rears are also a lot thicker then stock. Cost me a whopping $100 for the fronts and rears!! 2005-2009 lgt Front is K750049 Rear is K750023 Here is a pic of the rear http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i119/kylar27/photobucket-5461-1357750517163.jpg Rao is right, you get what you pay for! These are too agricultural looking to me, and no stickers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamiSteven Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Ordered some Moog front's as I already have kartboy rears > Will chime in here once I get 'em installed and test them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dognuts Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I ordered from RockAuto last week and received the old design k750049. Yes, unfortunately they still have the old design in stock? I called R.A. and asked about it after looking at them and realizing the grease fitting would contact the control arm on the passenger side, they are aware of the design flaw. They are working on getting me a current version but wanted others to be aware that there are some older versions being sold that will not fit the LGT under the part number k750049. Additionally one of the boots was ripped along the seam letting grease out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamiSteven Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I ordered them from amazon and it was supposed to be the new design but the ones I got still have tthe same issue, grease fitting hits the control arm...

JamiSteven Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Just a heads up guys if you are buying these from Amazon make sure you check them to see if they are the correct ones. I am outside of my return window and am now stuck with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPerron Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Are you saying that any Moog link with grease fittings won't fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamiSteven Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Amazons pic shows the new revision but what I received is the old, not sure what the part number was at the time of my purchase but I know the pic was correct Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I purchased all 4 from Amazon this week. The fronts (K750049) are the older style. They're still beefy but have the grease fittings on the sides. If you orientate these correctly, there is no issue with clearance on the fittings. The rears, pictured below, (K750023) showed up separately and I think I got the last old one and one new one. The old design rears are very much like stock and have no grease fittings. My local Advance Auto had a new style K750023 in stock so I used the newer style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one way to install end links, the grease fittings hit and will end up popping off, this has been discussed plenty. Sure you can install them, but it's pointless.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You can see from the picture above where someone else posted a picture of the old style fronts. If you rotate it 180 degrees, it will still install but the grease fittings will be on opposite sides and there is nothing for them to hit.

apexi Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm in the market for new end links, and ended up going with raybestos professionals. I took some pictures of my current end links, and I think moog's would just be too tight. Even with the grease fittings on the back of the endlink, it looks like the sway bar could hit the grease fitting. The thread below illustrates my concerns perfectly. I wonder if the fit with the moog's isn't as close with turbo subaru's? I do like what the poster in the thread below did though and I never thought of it, just buy smaller grease fittings. http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/81-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension/74362-2007-2-5-basic-front-moog-endlink-qs.html *I also recently ordered a couple moog end links from amazon, and got the same ones as post #137. I ended up returning them because I thought the grease fitting would hit on the bottom..I think Jason might be right, but it's hard to say without having the end links in front of me to try and flip/rotate to visualize better. Also are the end links supposed to be extremely hard to move by hand? The moog's I got from amazon were, and I wasn't sure if this was normal or not.

JJr Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 No issues with mine hitting. No they were not difficult to remove, I'm on the west coast though, no rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dognuts Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 rtbrjason and JJr are correct. If you flip the link end over end it doesn't change where the nipple is but if you rotate it left to right it will work. I mean if you lay the link flat on the table with bottom bolt to the left flip so same bottom bolt is now facing to the right. I had a hard day working on cars (I hate working on Chryslers). The first side went in first try. So when I couldn't get the passenger side to work (I kept flipping top to bottom not left to right) I called RocAuto and they were quick to tell me I had the old design. Granted the lady on the phone didn't know what a grease fitting was. She called back the next day and said Moog was aware of the issue with the grease fitting hitting the control arm and had a new design. So I gave up trying to put it on but it is now installed correctly no fitment issues. Thanks for clearing that up rtbrjason and JJr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMG905 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Just a quick question about removing the old ones: Can a sawzall blade fit into the space between the bar or bracket and the link? I'm wondering if this is a way to get around frozen links and rounded out hex heads.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
