MOOG K750257 Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link for Toyota RAV4

I used this part to replace a bent rear stabilizer bar link on a 2013 Toyota RAV4. It appears to be superior to the original OEM part. I like it enough that I'm going to replace the other one as well. Pros: - The shaft is beefier than OEM. - Greasable. The zerk came pre-installed. - The ball joint appears to be tight. - The wrench flats on the ball joint stud have enough clearance to use a small crescent wrench. Cons: - The rubber bushings are not as big as the original part. - The ball joint does not have any grease in it out of the package. You'll have to grease it yourself. Notes: - The ball joint stud nut torque is 55 lb-ft. The lower stud nut torque is 22 lb-ft. Both of these values are printed on the packaging. - In my picture, the zerk rubber cap is not included. I added that ( Allstar Bleeder Screw Cap ). - The Amazon picture is different from what I received. The shaft is solid and bigger, the zerk is already installed, and the bottom stud nut is a crimp style locknut rather than the nylock nut pictured. I'm actually glad I received what I did rather than what is pictured. Tip: If you might be using your vehicle in moderate off-road conditions, cut the excess stud length off that protrudes down below the lower nut after installation. I bent the original one when that excess stud length--almost 2 inches in my case--contacted a rock on a 2-track road.

Great part, easy replacement, improved clunking on my rave 4

Fits good no issues, little tight to take off and install but is doable, just need to undo rear muffler hanger and you can do it.

(2024 update to original review) Originally bought a pair back in 2019 to replace after one got bent. The OEM design has the threaded rod coming through the bottom of the lower control arm. In the rare event you bottom out, this can snag and get bent. This happened to me and caused a bad squeak on my RAV4. The MOOG version was superior in every way from being greaseable and having a wrench receiver piece (instead of the common torx inner piece holder on the stud) at the top when tightening down the top nut. For 2023 and onward (unless you get old stock), the new design comes in two pieces. The top is relatively unchanged, but the bottom is now just basically a screw that gets threaded deep into the top piece and two white firm bushings between the control arm. It can be a little tricky the first time you do it, but I much prefer this design to OEM one where you torque a nut down, smush rubber bushings and have a stud hanging out for reasons mentioned above. And Moog is the only company doing this as far as I know. I tried others (Detroit, TRQ) when I last replaced after 200k, and unfortunately, they are just not very great when it comes to the ball joint and especially the (cheap) rubber bushings. Ended up spending more money than I had to. Just stick with Moog if you are doing sway bar links on these model years of RAV4 in my opinion. When doing the job as someone without access to a lift, I've found it is easiest to jack up the rear, put it on jack stands at the back side support points and take the tires off. You will be able to easily access the nuts, move the sway bar freely and get everything in place without much struggle.

Only one side was broken (rusted through and snapped off), but I ordered two of these so I could replace both while I was at it (good idea, as I discovered the other one was about half rusted through anyway). The Moog replacements that I received came from different suppliers, one in Sacramento, the other Cincinnati, and they were not identical (and one was missing the small nut). After calling Moog (Federal Mogul) directly to inquire about the differences, I was convinced that the one was just a newer version (the dust cover is sealed inside, the rubber bushings are smaller, and the grease fitting is a 90-degree elbow type). I decided to put the newer version on the side with the exhaust since I figured getting at the grease fitting would be made easier, but they would have worked either way. The one main disappointment was the missing nut: I would have returned the item to Amazon for a replacement, but they jacked up the price and I would have had to repurchase at the higher price, so I went to a local hardware store and paid for a replacement. This was a bit cheaper than going through the return policy, and saved me time since I wanted to install this right away. Perhaps even exchange should be an option for returns on Amazon?

These were an exact fit replacement for the stock links from my 2011 RAV4 V6 4WD. They seem to be heavier duty than Toyota originals. The link shaft diameter is at least 50% thicker and these come equipped with grease fittings. Of particular note is the fastening method - the top link connection does away with Toyota's stud with a hex hollow (for holding the stud steady when tightening the nut) and provides an 18mm flat for a wrench to hold. Using a hex key under the car on a stock rusted link was a hellish experience - bravo Moog!

These are the updated models, with white bumpers and they don't stick down and drag like the older models did. These are flush fitting. Worked great, easy install.

Says it fits 2015 Toyota RAV4, does not there is a gap and it’s very loose when tighten as much as it can be

Better than OEM in my opinion, stronger than original and has a grease fitting for lubricant, (EP2), I have found over the years that sealed suspension parts don’t last as long as the ones with grease fittings, provided you grease them a couple times a year …

I needed to replaced but one was actually broken and one could have been replaced later so I only bought one on Amazon because it's more expensive than other websites. I found the one from Amazon to be a better quality and already pre-assembled versus the one from RockAuto was in pieces and didn't have as good of a rubber set as the Amazon one. So I'm giving it five stars even though it's more expensive than the other ones out there

Great fit, easy installation and great price.

Better than oem toyota link. Very satisfied!

Not sure how it’s a kit with only one
