not sure if they are poly, but being moog I guess bet they are, you could give them a call. Moog K80849 - Stabilizer Bar Link Kit | O'Reilly Auto Parts

Those are just regular rubber: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mog-k80849

Moog is ... USUALLY ... a step above the rest. These days that's not saying much, but what else can you do for quality parts? I find them hit or miss. I had one Moog upper ball joint fail in about 8k miles - less than a years worth of driving ... but the rest of the components seem to be fine after 30k miles. The replacement has already outlasted the first one.

Do I really need to torque my hub assembly bolts on my 2 wheel drive '03?

Thanks in advance for advice!

Found a guy parting out his 02 ZR2 across the river. I sent him a message about the fender flares and spare tire carrier.... Hopefully I can go get this week and I'll be a rock n' rollin 4 door tire carryin' flare bustah!

Anything else I should get? I know I need a new filler neck, if anyone knows if the two are interchangable that would be el mucho.

Also went down to harbor freight and got me a grease pump and a fuel pressure tester. Got some Green Grease and discovered my drivers outer tie rod seal is dryrotten and blown out, so I might order the full shebang of upper & lower balljoints and totally new tie rods tonight.
