My front Moogs popped the top zerks off, like, the first time they caught while turning into my driveway. Oh well; said fuck it and just covered them with 3M.
 
Well, ~8 months later and the one of the Whitelines started clunking. Reached out to Edge to find out if the warranty is 1-year, and the terms (refund and/or replacement). The failure was professionally verified when I was having my GC Coilovers put on a few days ago. I happened to have a brand-new set of Moogs handy (just in case, lucky me), so now they're on and the back is silent. Again... LOL

So I may have a set of BNIB Whitelines in the F/S section soon, and hopefully any potential buyer has better luck than me. I'm sure they'd be fine on a stock RSB. Maybe it's because I'm on the JBR 125??? I'm only on the middle setting, hmmmm.....

I don't think they can handle much, period. Both front and rear Whiteline endlinks pulled themselves apart on my car with the Hotchkis bars.

If this second set of Moogs goes bad (I'd be surprised - they're supposed to be rugged), then I may use @78jdbronco 's recommended Centri 606.45013, which are available on Amazon. FWIH, they have a lifetime warranty too. Or maybe even get new OEMS, LOL.

I use oem' s up front and moogs in the rear with my mazdaspeed accessory coilovers. The moogs have held up for a year so far, which is 50k miles. You should be good

I sure hope so. The first time, only one of my Moogs failed. It took ~10k miles. Interestingly, on a related note, OEM Mazdaspeed 3 endlinks are only 2/3rd the price as the other Mazda 3 endlinks (Onlinemazdaparts.com). What the heck?!?

Just bought OEM fronts. Tried several brands including MOOG, and Whiteline. MOOG are quiet as long as you constantly grease them, but only lasts a few days. OEM seems to be the best for the fronts...

'Preciate the input. Any experience on the rear endlinks?
 
I have tried 2 different adjustable rears, pep boys aftermarket, OEM and MOOG. MOOG seems ok in the rear, but OEM is the best option front and rear IMO.
 
Update: turns out the Whiteline warranty is 3 years, according to Edge. They're doing their @EdgeAutosport.com awesome customer service thing (which many of us are familiar with, haha) and getting me all squared away. Nothing is definite yet, but it sounds like I may need the ship them all the way to Australia for them to either verify and fix/or authorize replacements for me. Either way, I'll be likely putting a set of essentially brand-new Whiteline endlinks up for sale since the Moogs are already on. Hopefully someone else will have better luck than me. My luck with rear endlinks has been such that I'm wondering if my JBR 125 RSB is just too stiff for some endlinks...
 
My whiteline fronts have been clunking for a while now, looking into replacements. I guess I should go back to the stock ones? (if that works with an aftermarket front sway bar. I haven't noticed the backs (also Whiteline) making any noise yet, but it could be because the fronts are really loud.
 
I finally figured out what that awful sound coming from my passenger seat when I an entering an on-ramp and push it very hard. I finally ruled out the other suspension components (CorkSport lowering springs all around, PowerStop drilled and grooved with ceramic pads).

It was our main man Brett at CorkSport verified my diagnosis, telling me that those endlinks are so noisy. DUH! Right? I had broken 2 of the endlinks that were OEM.

I can deal with the noise as long as I understand the mechanism. Problem Solved, at least until someone comes out with a new and quieter design
 
After the advice of another member who I can't seem to tag, I grabbed some e36 m3 endlinks from moog, they are thick and can be regreased.

Definitely not Whitelines for the front. They rub on the passenger side brake hardline to the point it will chafe thru the line over time. Rears, running moog
