So I am going to be replacing the Front Sway Bar Bushings and the Tie Rods eventually. Truck just came out of Inspection and Emissions all fine and dandy, however, I have a note of some minor play in the one tie rod that may rear its ugly head by next year. So I want to buy two to have on hand and before next December, I will probably change the sloppy one. Then the other day I noticed the passenger side sway bar bushing has a nice gap at the top of the bushing, some minor vertical play and it has been making noise with out stopping even after lube. Anyways, I am looking for suggestions on the best replacements and where. Cost isn't too big of a factor although desired, ultimately I would prefer the most durable. Any option is accepted. Let's hear it?!

 

I went with the moog's for the sway bar links from rock auto. I think I used ones from 06 as those are beefier than the 05's. Are you doing inner or outer tie rods? I got my outer from rock auto also, moog as well. Everything was greasable. Not to expensive considering. I leave the inner ones to the pros cause I hear they are a biotch to change.

 

Its an outer tie rod. I think I am going to go with Moog as well after doing some price checking and such.

 

I got the Deeza greaseable outer tie rod ends and stabilizer bar end links from Rock Auto. I got bushings too but ended up not putting them on as mine were ok.

 

Definately go with Moog. If you plan on detaching your sway bar endlinks at any point, you might as well just buy those too. They factory ones will snap when you try to take them off.

 

Thanks man.

So I take it Moog doesnt offer the grease-able sway bar bushing assemblies anymore?

 

I never knew them to offer a greasable bushing for these trucks. The endlinks are though.

 

It may not have been Moog. I thought someone purchased them... I could be wrong, or maybe someone just added some zerk fittings to clamps.

Btw does anyone know the size of the front stabilizer bar? Just curious, I can caliper it, but was curious if anyone knew off the top of their head?

 

The energy suspension bushings and mounts have a zerk on them.

 

That's what I got and I can't complain. $20 shipped and I believe the size is 36mm. You might want to find the thread to double check
