Can they be pressed out and replaced?

Seems like MOOG makes a replacement part:
MOOG Part # K500119

found that on RockAuto.com

I called the dealer. They are not serviceable.

I didnt think so as when I looked at them I didnt see a way of them being pressed but also I did notice moog makes a replacement and thats what made me question this.


I just swapped out my lower ball joints. easy as pie. The control arm bushings will need to be replaced.

I cant find anyone that makes it so I will have to buy the whole control arm in the future.


Did anyone else's tie rods and sway bar links go bad after 40k miles?

I swapped em over to moogs when I hit 40k miles as they were shot but I had to do them again at 80k miles cause the front end was making all kinds of noise's and discovered they were shot again.

I havent had any issues with the rear suspension besides for shocks and sway bar links (knock on wood)
