Front end links

[Smartdave]

So I just changed out my end links on my '12 sonic. As most of you know there is no official aftermarket end link. The ones at the dealer are $23.00 each, however I would just end up replacing those in 20k miles as this is now the second time they have been changed. I heard that the Cruze uses almost the same end links so I took a chance and ordered 2 moog k750519 end links. To. My surprise the are exactly the same size as the oem end links.

Took about 20 mins to get both changed out. Upper and lower nuts are 18mm. The factory uses nylock nuts so you may need to use a set of channel locks to hold the shaft while you remove the nut.

The new nuts use a crushed thread at the end, this proved to be a bit tight for my liking so I ran a 12mmx1.75 tap through the nut to loosen it up just a tad.

Just took my sonic for a ride and no more clunking noise

Zzp has a billet sway bar link specifically for the sonic. ($99 a pair)

Cobalt end links work ( im running dura last ones)

Oem ones = junk

Btw use a opened ended wrench and the center of the bolt is a torques. Use the torques to keep it from spinning. I just used a impact and they come right off no problem

I know about the ZZP one, but I couldn't beat $18.00 each .

Torques? Lol, must be autocorrect.
