Default questions

2005 RX 330, 335,000 miles on original suspension I am now on a mission to get 500,000 out of this car

I have two questions
1. On suspension I have been referring to the ultimate suspension guide from MattRX for my parts but have a question regards the rear sway bar links, he suggests using the delphi TC2022, I was looking and preparing to order when I came across a set of MOOG K90345 which have grease fittings at a very good price on ebay, curious if anyone has a thought one way or the other if not I will probably just go forward with the TC2022.

2. It is in need of some weatherseal, especially around the rear door any suggestions as to best vendors buy from, I have not really begun much of a search yet.

Thanks

I had the MOOGs on my Highlander but they failed on my early, but so did the Delphi TC2022s. The Delphi's are a good price, but I don't think their joints inside are designed very well. When I cut them up on the bench, the joint doesn't have enough grease, and isn't large enough to last. The Moog's are heavy duty, but the elements here just get behind the greasable boot and they failed early, even with regular greasing.

I now run ones from the 2000-2011 Focus still, but the metal version vs. the aluminum ones. Which are still 237mm but are much beefier

For the weather seal, your best bet is getting one from a junkyard 2004-2009 RX. They're very expensive from Toyota/Lexus and haven't been able to find a suitable aftermarket one.
