MOOG Stabilizer Bar Link for Nissan Frontier K80471 — Greaseable, Improved Joint

MOOG K80471 is a replacement stabilizer (sway) bar end link engineered to restore steering control and reduce sway on compatible Nissan and Suzuki trucks by matching and improving on OE performance.

If your Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra or Equator feels loose through corners or you hear clunks from the front suspension, a worn stabilizer bar link is often the cause. The MOOG K80471 is a Problem Solver part built with proven engineering refinements—like a greaseable socket and improved hardware—to deliver quieter, longer-lasting operation and straightforward installation that meets professional technicians’ expectations.

How does the K80471 improve steering feel and control?

This stabilizer link restores proper connection between the anti-roll bar and suspension, reducing body roll and reestablishing predictable handling. MOOG designs the K80471 to address common OE failure points so steering response feels closer to new.

• Direct replacement fit for specified vehicle years and models.
• Greaseable socket flushes debris and extends bushing life.
• Enhanced joint geometry reduces unwanted play and noise.

What makes this MOOG link different from original equipment?

MOOG’s Problem Solver line uses targeted engineering updates to overcome weaknesses found in some OEM links. The K80471 improves durability and serviceability without requiring major modifications.

• Improved materials and joint design for longer service life.
• Greaseable fitting for periodic lubrication and rust protection.
• Manufactured to provide quiet, dependable operation under normal driving loads.

Will it fit my vehicle and how do I confirm fitment?

The K80471 fits a range of Nissan and Suzuki trucks and SUVs; confirming fitment for your specific year, engine and trim is essential before purchase. Use the vehicle selector or fitment guide from the retailer to verify compatibility.

• Compatible with 2005–2021 Nissan Frontier (varies by year and trim).
• Also fits 2005–2015 Nissan Xterra and 2005–2012 Pathfinder, plus 2009–2012 Suzuki Equator.
• Always check year, make, model, engine and trim and read any fitment notes.

How easy is installation, and what maintenance does it need?

Installation is straightforward for a competent DIYer with basic suspension tools; many technicians complete replacement quickly. The greaseable socket allows periodic lubrication to help prevent rust and wear, extending the service interval compared with non-serviceable links.

• Typically replaces in minutes per side with common sockets and wrenches.
• Greaseable fitting accepts standard chassis grease during routine maintenance.
• No special calibration needed—fits like-for-like to restore function.

Who is this for: The MOOG K80471 is intended for owners and technicians servicing Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra or Suzuki Equator vehicles within the listed model years who want a robust, serviceable replacement link. It’s ideal if you’re resolving sway bar noise, improving cornering stability, or upgrading from a worn or non-greasable OE link to a longer-lasting, quieter part.
