My rear sway bar stabilizer links are loose. I think the bushings are shot. They rattle like you wouldn't believe. Does anyone know where I could go to get replacement ones besides the dealership? They want to charge me $65 a piece.

Thanks alot.

Im pretty sure autozone carries them.

try doing a search. there was a thread on this exact topic a couple months ago >>

I think we concluded before that the links are expensive no matter where you go. But one guy found them cheap somewhere, but we were unsure if they were the right links of not.... If you find an internet site for cheap, let me know. I need them too

You can get urethane replacement bushings from Fensport, although they are in the UK.

Well I think I just need to replace the bushings, but I have no idea how to do that since the bolt just spins. I can't clamp down tight enough to get the bolt off. Anyone have any ideas?

You need an Allen wrench (hex key) to hold the end of the bolt while you turn the wrench, may need to clean out the hole, be sure the hex key goes in as deep as possible, if you strip it, its time to get the Dremel with a cutoff wheel....

Here's the ones I made,,,

Sway bar links

it,s been almost a year, they are still holding up fine,,,only prob was they cost as much as stock since I ordered metric stainless steel ends...it could be done much cheaper by using 3/8 SAE ends with a shouldered bolt to fit the 10MM hole in the sway bar. Probably an aircraft supply to find the shouldered bolt, thats where I found some. (after spending the money on metric ends)

These were for the front, just screwed a male and a female end together after shortening each about 3/8" , the rear could be done with 2 female ends and a short (approx 3") 10MM or 3/8 stud from the parts store, depending on which ends you get,,,
