Just installed moog end links on the vehicle. Paper inside says it is pregreased and does not need any more. What are your openions on this. Should I add a little more or not.
Thank you

Thanks Roadie,
Seamed like their was very little in them. Just a note, sway bar bushing in my wifes equinox simply blows to replace. Who would put the bolts on top.

I used the very expensive Moog ones with zerk fittings on my Envoy too, about a year ago, now they're on their way out again. 
Keep the fittings greased regularly (not overgreased with messy grease running out of the cups) is all I can say. I did that and still they seemed to last no longer for me than the cheaper brand ones have in the past. I have no experience at all with Suspension Maxx, but I think I will go with their upgraded end links when I replace mine in the next few months. I love my Envoy to death, but eating sway links for a snack every year or so is a really annoying habit.

I think I replaced at least 3 times in 3 years until I went to the smaxx ones a 2 years ago.

I guess I've been lucky? Used Moog about 6 years ago, and they are just now wearing out. '03 Envoy, but not high mileage or lots of off-road usage.

I have had no issues with the Deeza links, I like the sealed boot better than the Moog ones. I have serviced them twice and may just put 1 squirt of grease in every now and then.
Iirc, there was a how to on building your own endlinks on one of the 3 sites. Maybe someone who knows the thread can post it.

The different part numbers should correspond with different locations. Check Rockauto and you should see which one goes where.
I like the sealed boots, they do have relief areas for the old grease to come out. When I service them I put enough grease to just get the boot to swell. After some driving the old grease will work its way out. I have had no water come out yet which is a good sign.

It also says 4wd Envoy, which is the same as the other 4wd trucks.

Same here. Completely sealed compared to Moog. Only thing I don't like is the Allen key in the end of the stud. No hex

The rears have hex, fronts are allen. Mine are already that lovely orange brown color, but I blame that on the PA road salt.
I do prefer the Moogs in that respect as the hex makes it so much easier. But whatever.
