Moog Sway bar links

I was servicing my strut today and my beck armly OEM replacement sway Bar Link Broke off, I ran down to the local Advanced Auto Parts and Picked up a MOOG Replacement (auto zone did not stock any . . . not in the zone :-( )

The Moog part felt a lot stiffer and is made Thicker, it even has a geese port to make the part serviceable. Even the washers were quite a bit thicker and the bushing were made to contore to the sway bar surface.

Just wondered what you guys thought about these

Moog is good stuff .... they offer 2 lines of end links for our cars and it looks like you got the better line.

That is what I put on my car .... seems to do the trick, tight, quiet, and smooth.

After replacing sway bar links in the driveway,
I noticed that my rotor jiggles a little bit in/out.
Is that normal?

The wheel and lugs hold the rotor in place. So assuming you had the wheel off then yes it will move.

Old thread but, personally haven't had good luck with Moog.. they seem have short lifespan on both of my Maximas. Either that or I was sold bootleg stuff... I try to stick with OEM.
