TL Sway-Bar question

[HomerJay]

You can also use the TL endlinks on your Accord. That's what I did when I installed my TL sway bar. They are a bit thicker than the Accord endlinks. Not much more expensive from what I recall. Plus, ordering everything from one place is easier.

I needed to switch the left and right endlinks (as marked) to match the same layout as the OEM Accord layout.

Do they seem to hold up better than the accord ones? Seems like most people are "upgrading" to moog end links since the OEM ones don't hold up well, myself included although I haven't installed them yet.

Accord endlinks, TL endlinks, it doesn't matter. The point is moving away from the insane cost of [any] OEM endlinks (I paid $110 incl. tax at my dealer for a pair), the added build quality is just a side bonus.

I haven't noticed a difference as far as durability. Finch is correct, they are constructed similarly (as far as the plastic insert). Then again, I had no problems with my OEM endlinks like others have had here and there were over 90,000 miles on them.

I googled moog endlinks, but they are not easy to find online(for canadian websites for less than 60$ US shipped), What is O'reilly's btw, I read someone recommended to go there?
And if anyone knows where this stuff is available in Canada that would be even better

O'Reilly's Auto Parts... they just bought out Checker/shucks/Kragen.

Call around the auto stores. Moog is a fairly common OEM replacement company... if all else fails, rockauto.com

sometimes you can find Partsmaster suspension components which are in fact reboxed moog at half the price.

Compare to see first of course though

sometimes they rebox moog sometimes they manufacture their own

Sorry For raising OLD thread but after searching, and reading. I am looking to get the 04+ tl front & rear sway bars. i want to get moog bushings and what-not. My question is with the endlinks? Some one said to get accord endlinks, I've also read that getting tl endlinks are better for this swap. Little bigger. Can someone slap a noob and point me in the right direction? Thanks in adv.

endlinks will not make a **** bit of difference. just get the accord ones. and moog makes the endlinks, not the bushings.
