Which vehicles will this stabilizer bar link fit?

The K80471 is designed for a selection of Nissan and Suzuki models across several years. Always confirm fitment using your vehicle’s year, make, model, engine and trim before purchasing to avoid ordering the wrong part.

• Compatible models include 2005–2021 Nissan Frontier, 2005–2012 Nissan Pathfinder, 2005–2015 Nissan Xterra, and 2009–2012 Suzuki Equator.
• Check the seller’s "Amazon Confirmed Fit" or vehicle selector for final compatibility notes or special qualifiers.
• If a blue information icon appears in fit tools, review the additional notes to ensure correct application.

How does the greaseable socket improve performance and longevity?

MOOG’s greaseable socket lets you inject fresh lubricant to flush out contaminants and replenish wear surfaces, which helps inhibit rust and reduces bind over time. Regular greasing can extend service life compared with sealed, non-serviceable links.

• Grease port allows periodic maintenance without full replacement.
• Flushes debris from contact surfaces to reduce accelerated wear.
• Helps maintain quiet, consistent operation under varied driving conditions.

What benefits does MOOG’s design add compared to original equipment?

MOOG designs aim to improve on OE weak points by using upgraded materials and tested geometries to provide like-new steering feel and easier installation. The K80471 focuses on dependable operation and reduced NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) through better joint construction and sealing where applicable.

• Reengineered joint and hardware for improved durability and quieter operation.
• Manufactured to help simplify installation for professional and DIY mechanics.
• Backed by MOOG’s reputation as a supplier preferred by technicians and motorsports crews.

What should I expect when installing this stabilizer link?

Installation is straightforward for those familiar with suspension work, though access and fastener condition on older vehicles can affect labor time. Use the right tools, check mounting hardware condition, and follow tightening specs to ensure safe operation after replacement.

• Inspect existing nuts, bolts and mounting points; replace corroded hardware if needed.
• Hand-grease the joint after installation and periodically use the grease fitting during service intervals.
• Confirm ride height and alignment if multiple suspension components are being serviced.

Who is this for: The MOOG K80471 stabilizer bar link is aimed at owners and technicians working on Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra or Suzuki Equator vehicles who want a direct-fit replacement with upgraded serviceability. It suits drivers seeking quieter steering response, longer component life and the option to maintain the joint via a grease fitting—ideal for fleets, enthusiasts maintaining older trucks, and repair shops that prefer parts engineered for improved durability.
