MOOGK750041 Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link for Subaru Forester

Bought these as replacement end inks for the aftermarket rear sway bar on my CRX, received the "asia-spec" version.For those looking for measurements: The joints are spaced 70mm center-to-center, each joint is just under 35mm OD (excluding the grease fitting) and are 24mm from the flat back of the joint to the front crimp. The ID of the crimped area is about 27mm and the crimp appears to trap the edge of the grease seal, so this is probably a throw-away item if the grease seal fails. The bar between the joints appears to be 1/2" steel with an odd looking weld to the ball joint case - high power spot weld maybe. The grease fittings are ~7mm flat-to-flat on the hex (nib appears to be about the same) and protrude 9mm from the ball joint body.The studs are M10x1.25 thread (that's 10mm OD if you're not familiar with it) but the stud appears to taper down slightly as it approaches the joint, resulting in flat-topped threads on the base 1/2 of the stud. The stud extends out 44mm from the crimp of the ball joint while the narrower threaded portion is 31mm long with the threads stopping all together about 3mm from the base. The flats on the stud base are 17mm across, spaced 90° as seen in the product photo. The base itself is ~20mm OD on the round part between the flats and is 5mm thick. 8mm between the bottom of the base and top of the crimp when the stud is positioned straight out. The grease seal buts up against the underside of the base, so I'll stop there.The link came with two M10 flanged "lock" nuts that are really just regular flanged nuts that have been pressed slightly out of round on the outside (non-flanged) end.

First off I'm giving this product a 2 star rating not because its inferior but because the attention to detail was poor. The overall build quality is good and made very sturdy. I used these on my 06 Subaru Forester Cross Sports as a part of my rear suspension upgrade with OEM STI 20mm Sway Bar and Whiteline maintenance free bushings. The issues are as follows: (1) on both the flange nuts provided were warped at the top so if you try screwing it all the down to tighten it the threads in the shaft will get damaged, so I had to source those. (2) one of the links had a bad nipple and worn threading where the nipple is to be inserted.Had it not been for these issues this product would have been superb, i hope they get it together real soon. RMAing one of them and have to pay return shipping.

Strong and they were pre-greased. We added additional grease but it was unnecessary. The bolts were a hair thicker than OEM which was only a minor concern for some aftermarket mount supports that had to be drilled to accomodate. That was aftermarket though so would have been fine on the oem supports.

Very nice upgrade over stock units at half the cost. Hopefully being able to replenish the grease will help with life span of parts. Especially helpful after going through water/mud because I think that water ingress causes these to fail much quicker.

As the other reviewer noted, Moog seems to like to update their designs without changing the part numbers. My first order had two different endlinks: one that looked mostly like the stock unit and one that was much beefier and had zerk fittings (like the front moogs). Easily fixed by ordering a third and returning the older (non-zerk) one back to amazon, but could be a pain in the ass if you are trying to get things done quickly.

Installed a set of these links onto the rear of a 04 Forester. Exact fit and heavier built than the OEMs. Having the ability to grease these should ensure many smooth miles.

Good price and stopped noise coming from rear. I had installed so don't know how easy install was.

I use these with Tribeca front sway bar on 4th gen Legacy 2.5i, good quality.
