    I have a set from rock auto. Haven’t installed them yet but they seem like a solid part.

    Yes I only get OEM for critical components like ball joints or tie rod ends.

    Or when the price difference is minimal.

    I installed these when I swapped out some TRD OR take offs. I had to cut off the OEM sway bar links due to corrosion. The Allen head hole was done for. I like the Mevotechs because it doesn't use the Allen hole and it's serviceable. Installed easily and work great. Have about 600+ miles on em'. I also picked them up on rock auto. The shipping sucks though it took like a week and a half.

    How do you tighten it without the hex hole?

    It has a flat where you can use a wrench. No need for Allen wrenches.

    Moog also sells a greaseable set. Sourced from Summit Racing. Good luck.

    Moog brand end links are junk. The grease caps have no retainer to keep the cap affixed, and grease can come out easily.

    Yes I have read that moog has apparently gone way down hill sadly.

    With that part that I purchased, I was extremely displeased. A lot of times, if I can, Raybestos Profession, or AC Delco. Which I purchased this time.

    These are very good quality though. Whiteline.

    I have Moog. To be replaced with the AC Delco.

    Whiteline Performance is an upgrade over OEM.

    Not sure where Lucario Runner purchased his from. Use that p/n to search. A vendor will pop up.

    I have those mevotech ones on right now, they were the cheapest ones I could find haven't broke yet so I dunno I guess they work fine. I wouldn't spend more than you have to on link ends.
