Bootyologist Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 , but after finding out that you had to grease Moogs every oil change I started digging more. mevos need greasing, that's what those fittings are for. I tried them out and they lasted 30 min before they started making noise. crawled under the car after getting home from the shop and found that the boots on each link had already torn. garbage.

covertrussian Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 That's odd for the boots to be torn because of lack of grease, bearing going shot sure, but not boots. I would say you got a defective pair, maybe reach out for replacement? Mevo's do need greasing, but since the boot is clamped on, it's mostly water tight. Thus they should in theory need much longer greasing intervals then moogs (every oil change). Mevotech doesn't mention how often you need to grease them, so it's hard to say for sure though. 05 LGT 16G 14psi 290whp/30mpg (SOLD) 12 OBP Stock 130whp/27mpg@87 Oct 00 G20t GT28r 10psi 250whp/36mpg 22 Ascent STOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sneaky Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Kartboys are noisy and driving me nuts. Will try the Moogs and report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted July 15, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2017 Kartboys are noisy and driving me nuts. Will try the Moogs and report. Kartboys shouldn't make a lick of noise if installed correctly, there's nothing to really even make noise "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SpecB_DE Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 13 pages about endlinks? Moog or go home. Those fancy expensive ones may be nice but they aren't necessary. The pricing of endlinks are ridiculous enough, no need to over pay for a part that should be 15 a piece. I've installed hundreds of Moog's without an issue.

Mr. Sneaky Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Kartboys shouldn't make a lick of noise if installed correctly, there's nothing to really even make noise Trying to figure it out myself as well. They seemed to be fine for a while and they seem to have loosened. I have originally put some blue loctite on it. I have re tightened them and they were ok for a bit and now noisy again. Rear ones more than fronts. Time is a little short right now to poke around and investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshole Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I ordered 2x K750049 this past weekend and looks like I received the old style end links. Should I replace them or install them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Those look to be right, no nipples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshole Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 They have the fill nipples on the sides instead of out the backs I was expecting this (from the Amazon product page): But I received this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I'll second BMB on the kartboys. I used them on the road course at Brainerd raceway for probably a thousand miles, plus tens of thousands as a daily and they never once made a noise. I could suck start a snow blower.

d22597 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 You have the correct links. The newer version has the nipple on the side. Just have to make sure you rotate/flip the link to get the nipple in the right location not to interfere. Seems to confuse people, but if you keep messing with it you will figure out.

sshole Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Earlier in the thread someone posted a picture of the end link with the nipple on the side and they were told it was the old design. Now I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNRZR Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 They recently changed them again. The ones you received are the new new version. I had replaced mine a couple years back with the new ones and they failed. When I warrantied them through rock auto, I received the same as what you have. I think the boot design on these newest ones is much better than the previous two versions where the boot is on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshole Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Cool I'll give them a shot. I just cancelled my return with Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshole Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Uh so... what endlinks are these? I'm thinking Whiteline front/rear adjustable endlinks. https://www.rallysportdirect.com/part/endlinks/whi-klc139-whiteline-adjustable-ball-socket-front-or-rear-endlinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasterdammit Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Old thread, I know, but figured I'd throw my $.02 in as well. I originally replaced my stock end links with a pair from Perrin because damn if they didn't look seriously stout. They're cut like dogbones, with HDPE bushings protecting the bolts (IIRC). Didn't last 2 years, and that was while my wife was driving the car. Chucked the Perrins for a pair of Moogs, which I agree - are overbuilt, compared to the stock units. Not as beefy looking as Perrin's, but that was 3+ years ago I put them in, so they're already out-performing the Perrin set. And for the price? Yeah, cheap, compared to the Perrins, but I can replace three sets of Moogs for the same price as one pair of Perrins and go at least 5x longer on them.

CPUNeck Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Interesting the legs this thread has. I've attached the photo from sshole since too often the links die crippling thread content. --Update for those looking at Moog replacement FRONT endlinks (K7432)-- * Installed February 8th 2014 @ 75,000mi, NG after 4 years and 60,000mi * I installed my Moog K7432 on 8Feb14 @ 75,000mi. They certainly appeared beefy, proper fitment even with my Hotchkis 25mm sway bar. Kept them greased, but never liked the cheesy grease boots! Utter crap, constantly "burped" grease out the sides. While installing new BJ's/Bushings in the LCA, noted the end links had notable play, and pronounced "catch" spots! For the $$$ I can't complain, but have concerns - they are not making noise so I'm not sure how long those "catches" have been present and based on knowing there's obvious grooves between the ball and socket, I question the strength of the metal there.

DementedGT Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 i put in some Lemforder end links. They are built like the MOOG in the first page of this thread. I was very happy and they were cheaper. I got them from one of my buddies shops but this is a link to ebay https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Lemforder-Front-Antiroll-Bar-Link-Fits-Subaru-Legacy-2003-2016-Mk4-Mk5/381725311617?hash=item58e09a0281:g:I~AAAOSwnQhXoz86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdm545 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Update from my post #47: after roughly 5 years, the front end links needed replaced, which I am not at all disappointed in given that I didn't grease them religiously. Installed new sets of moogs in the front last night and moog redesigned them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzr750r1 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Moogs have lasted longer then the OEM or Hotchkis at a reasonable price point. Having the ability to put in some grease is a plus. Hotchkis boots deteriorated far faster than any of them. Even the units that were not installed turned to garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
