    I just bought a front set of MOOG's from Rock auto for $23/piece. Rear's are going for $17/piece.

    I have a 5% discount code if you buy from Rock Auto if you want it.

    Got mine here as well. Not a big fan of the fronts (they'll do), but the rears are great.

    I ordered ACDelco front links from Rock Auto about a month ago and at that time the rears were back ordered. Good to know they have them back in stock! Thanks for the code too, TalonGuy! Positive rep for you, I love saving money on quality parts.

    OK, I feel like I'm missing something. How do you install the nuts on the new link threaded rods? They just keep spinning the thread rods. I jacked up the suspension, but still nothing. Manual just says install nuts at specified torque. Any ideas?

    Nevermind. Vice grips.

    Even with vice grips I had a hell of a time threading the Moog provided nuts ons. The Moog provided nuts are purposefully (I'm assuming) not round, so they act as a lock nut. After fighting with one side for a while, I threw them in the trash and re-used the stock nuts.

    I just had a hard time believing you needed vice grips to install. My general rule, similiar to guns, is do not point vicegrips at anything you do not intend to destroy.

    Once I got one side in, the other side was easy as it jammed the sway bar down. No vice grips were needed on the other side. I had no issues with the provided nuts; thought they were better since the wrench didn't fall all the way in.

    I just purchased front and rear links from O'Reilly's online. Received them this week.

    General question regarding the procedure to swap them: is it fair to say that you should lift the complete rear end (left and right) even if you are only replacing one side to avoid tensioning the sway bar during replacement? Thanks.

    It makes the job more difficult if you don't. Only takes a few more minutes to lift both sides and it's safer.

    I went through this with RockAuto yesterday. Ordered rear end links almost two weeks ago from them. I finally called to see what the problem was and found out they couldn't get them after all and they had to cancel my order. Ordered another pair from Aftermarket Suspension Parts. Special order, will take at least two weeks to get them. Maybe if a few more people buy them they'd speed up the order?
