One of my front stabilizer links P/N PN15840266 (I think) is sloppy and I believe needs replacing (won't tighten any further)




R/A lists a 1-off GM Genuine 15840266 ($32) but from the catalogue pictures below mine look like the ACD 45G2019 having the same 16 sided top, this item costs $31 for 2-off



Then there is a MEVOTECH MK8987 1-off for $8.

Of course it could be something else out-of-alignment possibly the stabilizer bar which I believe comes as a kit with the links.

Just after some general advice and guidance on this, thanks guys

 

Barrel nut makes it easier to install. May need your pry bar to install the traditional links.

 

Btw, the GK80631(original grade/rubber) are $5.45 each. MK80631 (poly) are $10.40 each.
Rubber bushings have more “give” and eliminate most noise and vibration making the suspension cushier. Poly bushings hold the suspension components tighter which is better for handling and alignment but the downside is more vibration making its way from the road to the driver.

 

hummerz thanks for you advice, makes sense and very much appreciated 🧑‍🔧

 

i just went to autozone and got the closest universal kit they had. once the nut threaded onto the bolt with a bit of cussing all went well. it was similar to this but not specifically this one. i had the old one on hand to commpare https://www.autozone.com/suspension-...65r/449728_0_0

 

Thanks bronxteck

 

Sometimes you need to show who's the boss.
No cussing needed with a pry bar. Forward to 7:50-----

 

I just replaced mine when I installed new Bilstien shocks a week ago, the local auto parts store had their house brand and Moog. I asked to see both, the cheap $10 house brand was USA made and the more expensive MOOG was made in China. I opted for the cheaper USA version. Installation was super easy. I am a big fan of Moog parts, but I am doing my best to not support the communists.

 

I've seen many acdelco parts coming from CHINA. I will not install any on my ride!

 

Where are Moog parts made?
