Moog is great because they are serviceable (grease fittings) Are you going to do the tie rod ends too? Check Auto Anything they are alway running a sale. I was on Advance Auto Parts yesterday and they had a 15% off right now coupon too. Not sure where you are - but they ship too. You going to get it aligned afterwards too right? Have fun.

 

Check the Hellwig website

 

I checked Hellwig site and found nothing for my truck.

I already did tie rod ends a year ago with MOOG so no need to replace. When changing the sway bar links an alignment is required after?

On autoanything I saw the skyjacker and hellwig end links but they look different then the ones I have, so I am not sure how they hook up? Any help I appreciate.

 

Which ones did you go with? I am debating moogs (overpriced) or mevotechs MK7422 comparable and way cheaper than the moogs k7422.

advanceauto has way better discount codes than just 15%, i use the $40 off 100 all the time sometimes multiple orders but that still doesnt knock down the moogs prices.

no need for alignment when replacing the sway bar end links and not sure why you would do tie rods at same time automatically....

 

To be honest I haven't even bought the part yet. I usually go with MOOG parts but you are right they are $$$, I looked at the mevotech's price and def like it better. Which one are you going with?

 

I am not sure yet. This is my weekender so dont know if I will go cheap ebay junk or mevotech or moog. I like moog and use them 90% of the time, but have found that sometimes they are to big like lower ball joints and there is rubbing issues (doesnt appply to these trucks but other customers vehicles) so i am thinking of giving mevotech a try for 63 free shipping a pair of the mk7422's which are greasable and compare to the moogs k7422 ot 1a autos cheap 30 a pair set cause i dont drive the truck very much at all but i do drive fast and take corners fast.

 

Yea like you said I use MOOG most of the time, lower/upper and tie rod ends are all MOOG that was just replaced. I was going get MOOG bushings for sway bar for sure but the links I was debating because I do have other stuff to drop money on so I was hoping to find another brand that is good/ close to MOOG in the links since they are pretty pricey.

 

I am also grabbing the bar bushings too. From reading it also causes clunking, so rather not find out after just doing the links which i know are bad i can make them clunk/pop by hand very easily, so will do both then everything is new.

 

Update a week after installing the MK7422's and 36mm moog bushings. WOW WOW WOW it handles like a vehicle should now. Granted i also did a 2" drop shackle in the rear before it and that made a difference but crap were my end links shot and bushings too. Tightened my truck up 10,000 times.

Grabbed the mevotechs off rockauto seemed cheapest and most reliable to deliver when I wanted. bushings i got from ebay saved a few bucks there.

 

Going order my MEVOTECH tonight. The bushings you got were 36mm? ROCKAUTO is showing me for front to frame it's 30mm

 

Yes 36mm I measured mine thought 30 was small which it was. I have the torsion suspension so maybe why and 2002. Double check yours to avoid aggrevation. Rockauto didn't have them under 02 think I found it under 03.

 

Did you use a caliper to measure yours? When I checked out ROCKAUTO and I put my info in (2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7l) it shows bushings for it. I'll have to see what I have to get perfect measurements.

 

yes used a caliper. Its tricky with the 2002's but rockauto for this particular part are wrong. If you dont have a caliper wrap a piece or string around it and measure it that way. I would bet if you have torsion suspension too yours will be 36mm. I bought moog part # K7384 and they are perfect. Just make sure you get the "MK" and if not getting from rockauto beware of ebay sellers almost all of them are misleading and you will receive gk's or k's which are the other two versions from mevotech. MK is the only one comparible to the moog.

 

Yea I'm looking at getting it all from ROCKAUTO, MEVOTECH for links and MOOG for bushings. I'll measure tomorrow and then order Monday. Your MEVOTECH came with a grease fitting right? The description on ROCKAUTO doesn't say it but the picture seems to show it.

 

Don't have a caliper, tried the string to measure but think I'm doing something wrong. Wrapping string around it equal very close to 5", which if converted to millimeters that's like 120 something, I'm lost lol.

 

Measure a different way, using a crescent wrench I got 1 11/32", so converting that to mm was 34.131, which from what I read your suppose to round down no more than .50mm so that means I need a 34mm bushing, does this sound correct?

 

forgot to answer about grease fitting sorry, yes only the "MK" version does.

34 would be the # to use guess they had all sorts of sizes which is odd, but maybe my caliper was wrong and I am really 34 but the moogs 36 is a perfect fit so idk.

Rockauto doesnt have either of our sizes under 02 1500... I would find what you measured and still order from rockauto just find under a different year. Would be something if both of us had our bars swapped out by previous owners which i doubt.

 

Looks like it'll be the K7383 for me, says its for a 33 or 34mm bushing. Going order tomorrow morning, did the bushings and ends links come in a pair or did you have to order two of each?

 

Bushings come as pair so order 1. Links don't so order 2.

 

Thanks man!

 

Got mine in, have to ship back and get new ones because the ones bolt is bent so bad, and the other link where you can fill the boot with grease the boot is half the size of the other one so I didn't like that either...I hope I get new ones by next Saturday as the lift is getting put on Sunday...

 

04 4wd quad cab Hemi, is supposed to have 36mm according the different part sites, but really my bar is 34 MM, I had to order for a 2 wd to get this size from Energy suspension.

 

PdPuNOme was your sway bar end links at all have a slant to the threaded part of it? I returned my first set because it was slanted hardcore and I just got my other set in and it has a slight slant to them.
