    I’m assuming this is not correct as the rubber grommet is cracked and appears to be leaking grease. Just not sure what this support bar is called. Anyone know?

    Should I replace them with OEM or another brand? These lasted almost 90k

    I'm not paying $110+ each for OEM.
    I'll take the Mevotech for $25 each.

    As for what you should do? That is up to you.
    You can pick from $9.00 Ultra-Power to OEM at $110.00 each.

    I wouldn't be afraid of aftermarket on that part.

    Just replaced mine after 3 years of ripped boots. Got a cheap pair off of rock auto, easy simple quick fix.

    I just got moog greaseable ones. I can buy like 9 pairs of moogs before I reach the cost of OEM :rofl:
    Originals were all loosey goosey so I’m hoping the new ones tighten up the feel, paired with poly sway bar bushings.

    I filled mine cause I couldn’t tell. I don’t think they did because new grease is what came out of the front of the boot when they were full.
    Takes like two pumps.

    Question for someone else lol, I am still waiting to install them.
    I had to move a ton out of the way to replace them :thumbsup:

    I’ll probably just do them every oil change or so, takes 10 seconds.

    According to Google, Mevotech and MOOG are the actual manufacturors Toyota uses. If thats correct or not I do not know. But sounds like you are safe skipping the dealership markup. Rock Auto has both MOOG and Mevo available. greasable and non.

    I know I know, I was lazy and just swung the knuckle to the side. I should have fully removed it. Go easy on me, I was in a rush.
