I've tried ordering from autopartsexpress for the past couple of months and they've been out of K500102.

I just ordered then through amazon for a little more.

k500101 $33.60
k500102 $33.53

 

MOOG ES80584 Tie rods
MOOG ES80585
MOOG K500102 Ball Joints
MOOG K500101
-----------------------
Rock Auto $99.72

 

So I got these same lower ball joints but under the raybestos name rather the moog name. I dind't realize these come dry, there was some liquid in there but no grease? i drove one these dry for like 2 days, is that going to cause problems? And how do you grease these up? I know through the small fitting that you can screw onto the side, but I have never done it before.

Thanks!!

 

bumping this, i'm changing some parts soon and wanted to know how the moogs are holding up. Would you guys say they're up to par with the oem ones or better?

 

lots of good info here. Gotta order some parts.

 

Beware.... I ordered the passenger and driver side moog tie rod ends from Amazon last month and one of them didn't have the "555" logo on it....
So I went to my local O'Reillys to get one and their Moog tie rod didn't have the "555" either!

Whats the deal?

 

May have figured this out but not sure........ After reading the side of the box, I noticed it said "Made in the USA" ..... So I called different oreilly stores and finally found one that had a box that said "Made in Japan"..... So I went and traded the one I had out with him and compared the boxes.... It seems the "555" ones were packaged prior to '09 and the USA were packaged in '11.
So maybe the "555" ones are on their way out of being found at part stores etc... stock up now!!

 

So these should fit right on my 2001 2gs right?

 

yes. thanks for searching...

 

Alright thanks
