Rear Suspension Question...REAR SWAY BAR LINK?
I just noticed that my rear sway bar link, on the driver side of my 2000 4runner, is tweaked. The passenger side looks fine, but I plan on replacing both.

-I was just wondering if this was easy to replace or do I need a special tool to get the link off? It looks pretty simple, but I know some suspension pieces need a suspension removal fork or prong; in order to get them off.

I found a replacement part on kragen.com, it is a MOOG Chassis suspension piece. Is that a good, high quality brand or should I stick with Dealer parts on this project? The MOOG piece is considerably less expensive than buying from the dealer.

Thanks for any help.

No need for new end links as far as I can see. They are made with an integrated ball joint that is made to rotate like that. If you feel your rubber bushings are shot then upgrade to Poly. You can see pics and info on my site under sway bars. No special tools needed either.
