Anyone using Moog sway bar end links on a C5?
I am ready to replace my sway bar links and it looks like Moog makes a stronger and greasable end link.
Which ones are better for a street car, the new GM aluminum or the Moog replacements?

Given that both are of the same quality, strength, etc........wouldn't the cheaper of the two be best for a street driven car? ......or am I missing something?

Id do GM to keep the car GM. I also use the GM metal end links with my aftermarket swaybars and have a very nice handling car. Moog may be fine too. But I have no experience with them.

I had never thought about aftermarket end links.
I don't know if one is stronger than the other. The Moog end links look to be an all metal construction with the grease fittings. It looks pretty good to me.
I have read that some people had problems with the GM links. Mostly about noise.
Moog generally has a lifetime warranty on their parts, although I don't know about these specifically. That could be a good reason to try them.
Like you asked, maybe someone has tried them and can comment. Or if you get them let us know what you think.

The Moog Links look more durable than the GM.
I would think they would outlast the GM links.
I am curious to see if someone who has used them likes them or if there are any fitment issues.

How is Moog compared to Hotchakis all metal endlinks?
I believe, since Moog has grease fittings, it's more like the OEM, not really a full metal feel. Open to your feedback...

The Moog K750136 is solid steel - OEM did not have grease fittings in either plastic or aluminum form as they were considered permanently lubricated.
The Moog is far beefier than the OEM part. Never seen the Hotchkis, but I really doubt it would be stronger.

I have the grease able moogs on mine. Haven't had a problem with them nor have I really noticed a difference. I honestly just got them because they had the grease nipple and my old GM's were torn and destroyed. Happy with my purchase to be honest.
