Front stabilizer links

[xx1jpt5xx]

So my suspension has been real noisy for a while and the ride has been real crappy. I got it looked at and they said i need new front stabilizer links. Anyone know where I can order some of these for a decent price for a 2000 4 cyl

www.rockauto.com has them for $20.79 each. You can try the dealer, but I'm sure they will be more than that. But, are you sure it's the links and not the bushings that are worn out?

the links are ball joints, so if you hear a metal to metal grinding or mettalic squealing, then its a ball joint, be it your lower balljoint, or one of your endlinks.

if its just a squeaking when you ogo over bumps at parking lot speeds, then it could be the sway bar mount bushings.
which can and do go bad often.

usually ball joints won't go bad unless the boot gets torn and the grease comes out or is contaminated.
just jack it up and look for torn dust boots.

Wouldnt hurt, I'd rather do it all at once rather than come back in 6 months and repair the other side.

Yeah that's all true, but also, I've know a few people who have had to replace their bushings due to the stabalizer bar making a rattling sound when going over bumps. I know verywhite had to change his front stabalizer bushings for that reason.
