Really look forward to the uploads and I have no doubts. You will hit 60,000 soon. This channel is a treasure, and I am so blessed to have found it after buying my C5. My first Corvette. Thank you, Lyle and team!!!

When I got my 99 FRC last April I had emailed you pics of the OEM ones and they were worn to shit. Earlier this year i had them replaced with the Moog ones you showed and what a difference. Literally night and day. The car hugs the road with very little body lean in the twisties. Even at low speeds and going over dips I can feel how solid the car feels. Worth every penny

The reason for the "rattle" from the sway bar end links and ball joints is due to a "steel ball and a plastic cup" in both these suspension parts. Without having a way to replace the grease in the factory parts they need to be replaced with better parts preferably ones that can be lubed at regular intervals. GM changed the design in 04 C5'S and all C6'S and beyond. Moog is a trusted name that's been around forever. It's getting harder to buy quality parts in the aftermarket so be careful when selecting the new suspension parts for your C5.

Did mine when I 1st bought my 03 a few years ago. That, the swap bar bushings and replaced the diff fluid while I was down there.

These were the first things I replaced on my C5 ( Car was 5 years old when I bought it ) as well as upgrading to Z06 sway bars and C6 Z06 shocks. The handling improvements were like night and day. When I saw the plastic parts I knew they had to go!

You are the best Lyle thanks for share all this information with us...

Nice job Lyle, Dick Thompson was known as the flying dentist (although someone down below beat me to it)

Good tip, I have a C5 with a 140,122 miles. I'll get these parts checked out.

I swear I literally asked myself yesterday, no bs, wondering if Lyle was going to cover C5 Sway Bars anytime soon!

Lyle, thank you for posting this. Some day I will drop by your shop to bother you.

Thank you..

Always beneficial watching your videos. Thank you so much! Will order soon I’m sure.

I wish I lived closer to you guys

first mod I did to my 2001 C5 was C6 z51 sway bars and metal end links. Made a night and day difference.

Excellent advice and trivia as always, Lyle! Thanks

Thanks for the heads up. I will be checking mine out.

Thx Lyle! Ordered 2 just replaced mag ride with Bilsteins! What a difference. I like the explanation of how the swaybar works. I should have been able to go faster in the corners-track day.

Glad to ear C6s have an improved version! 🙂 Thanks Lyle for sharing your precious knowledge ! 👍👍

Hi corvette buddy

TY Lyle!

Just did all 4 of these on my 03 z06. Rockauto has GM ones for $28,dealership wanted $70 eeeeks. Every single one of them had ripped and dried out boots. My guess is they were the originals from 20 years ago.

Thanks for always great information👍👍

Loving the trivia!

I bought moog off Amazon couple months back and they are great. I actually noticed a difference the first day after replacement vs worn out factory links that were toast.

Thanks Lyle, I was wondering what that noise was I hear in slow turns. I will add that to the list of things to do.

Thanks for these tips, Lyle! Looking forward for the next video! 😊 Btw could you someday give some suggestions based on your experience about supercharging ls1s and ls6swith vortec/pro charger/a-a charges, please? Thanks!

hard to forget a name like the flying dentist once you learn about the guy. superior drivers were the reason cobra's won races back in the day because the primitive English suspensions were antiquated compared to competitors like the vette. one can even look up percentage of road racing advantage tables ranking the advantage of equipment verses how the same percentage of advantage a driver makes towards winning. it takes a heck of an equipment advantage to overcome even a moderate driver advantage, once winning percentages are calculated. As always, I appreciate advice from a knowledgable source with actual working experience with the parts. I never want to be poorly informed about my best stewardship path, and without the heads up would have bypassed a Dorman part. I think my links have already been replaced by the looks of things, but will double check.

I use the Moog but I liked the C6 original design because they are made of aluminum and the moog and steel and more heavy tho i dont feel the difference when driving

Alright, Lyle, you saw what I posted on the C5 Corvette group earlier today, On Facebook, didn't you? You dog.😂 You never said whether you want me to spread your page on our C5 group page, yes or no. I'll talk to you later.🙂

Didn’t know that trivia question, I feel smarter now…. Tricky Dickie comes to mind…. Given that my first name is Richard!!

Hey guys. I just bought å corvette 1974 383 stroker. What do u think about that ? Greetings from Norway 🇧🇻

The Flying Dentist!

Lately I left hard at the light and it wheel bounce pretty hard and ever since it feels like when driving normally and push the pedal to go faster there's a feeling like the car drive side way for a moment not to sure how to explain it ? I drive a c5 z06 with very low miles.. Any idea thx in advance.

??? My 02 Vert has /came with the aluminum links. bought it new the summer of 02 so not changed.

Lyle, 'a solid steel tube?"

Hello I have a 1990 c4 and the climate control module has no power at all. Is there a way to get a quote on a diagnostic for that?

Moog use to be an American company, than an Mexican company, and now a Chinese company... Try to find old stock American or at least Mexican.. The Chinese ones are crap...
