    I'm at the point it's time to replace my sway bar end links. Looking at his pictures, the lower pivot, mine has its grease leaked out, the uppers rubber is cracking and worn. I've been looking at options, there's something bad to say about all of them. Moog was good but was bought out by a Chinese company? Mevotech has their issues. Stock, I'd prefer to replace with servicable as in something thst has grease zerks. I can see Amazon has good prices on all of it but I don't want to end up with made in china, or worse a counterfeit version of made in China. So I'd rather pay a few extra bucks to buy from a reputable company. I'm just not seeing a good option. I shelled out a ridiculous amout for the helwig sway bar bushings, I don't want to pair them with crap.

    I realize I'm sorta jacking this thread.

    I went Moog on LBJs and they are greasable. idk anything about them being bought out, but a lifetime warranty isn't anything to scoff at either. You could run them for 20k and just swap em for free if you wanted peace of mind. :notsure:

    Yes I’m leaning towards moog as being not a good option but the one that’s not as bad as the others.
