    Are these the sway bar end links are these the tie rod ends that steer the steering knuckles move the steering knuckles what have you? Move makes a very heavy sway bar in link I think that works on this model May go on Corolla too yeah you can measure them and see but they are pretty stout unlike the weaker originals.

    You cannot go wrong with any lifetime warranty sealed stabilizer bar links from local stores. They have the best deal if you are DIYer. I prefer a sealed unit with composite nylon sockets like original Toyota ball joints. Metal to metal contact like in MOOG never last long even with regular regreasing.

    That's wild I put so many miles on Moog and I can't even think of all the American part maker's names SKF etc and have never ever had a problem and most of my vehicles I've kept a good portion of my life and then if I do get rid of them they go to somebody I know and usually come back to me for upfitts and repairs but like everything else man this was a while ago and the last 10 years I haven't used a lot of any of that stuff haven't had to do any of that kind of work I'm coming up on wheel bearings and joints on an '09 and a 13 pretty soon

    The problem with MOOG is the variety of the parts. It often does re-boxing from other suppliers. Stabilizer bar links only break when the boots are torn but for the ball joint, the internal parts are worn out. I always buy original Toyota ball joints, especially for truck and SUV bodies on the frame. For stabilizer bar links and tie rod ends, any brands are usually fine, as long as the boots are strong.
