can bad bushings cause bad links? last year, it was just bad bushings, the dealer said, now the dealer, belle tire, etc, say it's bad links and bushings in the rear, as well as a front link
will it cause the sway bar to go bad if you don't replace it, as the sway bar is much harder to replace, though the oem sway bar isn't that much more expensive
i bought mooogs, are moog sway bars good or comparable to oem? heard they needed to be greased, i just bought a grease gun for this purpose
heard that the pistol grip one is better than the lever grip one which is cheaper, the pistol grip averages 19.99 at auto parts stores, and i saw one for 14.99 at walmart, but meijer had a clearnace on it, a tube of 14.1 oz grease (vs the can which is 16 oz, which is better, the tube or the can with the grease?)
and i saw most gresase said gm, chrylser, and japanese cars used one which is lithium based, so use that for the toyota, right, wheraes another kind if moly based and is for ford products and only ford, so i guess i can use the gm/chrysler/toyota one for the camry, and get the ford kind/moly based one for the ford? H freight also sells the grease tubes, there's also mini grease guns, but its' hard to come across mini grease tubes, so i decided to go with the regular grease gun.
got a pistol grip one for only 12 dollars on sale (25% off clearance, normally 16 something).
it's a powerbilt, is powerbilt a decent brand?
how are the harbor freight grease guns? i think it's like 19.99 for the pistol grip, so 16 dollars after a 20% sale (they're having more this month, had one this weekend) but the meijer 12 dollar one is still cheaper, is it any good? and i saw mobil 1 grease was sold in a lot of places. i got the meijer branded grease for 2.99 in a tube, it was on clearance and is usually 3.99 (forgot the brand, i think it was coastal) is coastal grease any good? and it'd work for stab links as well as for a wheel bearing, as a wheel bearing needs to be greased too.
anyways, how are the harbor freight greases, how is coastal for grease, and how is mobil 1, and use the moly (h freight labels by chemical, not by car manufacturer, whereas everywhere else like store brand as well as valvoline (popular and sold everywhere) goes by brand, and mentions material, the gm/japanese one is lithium, and the ford is moly). any comparisons for grease brand? thanks.
and the grease in those cans (or containers) how are those comapred to the tubes you use for the grease gun,and if a grease gun only takes tubes, why do they sell them in those can/containers, and what are those for? Thanks.
