I have had my front passenger endlink break also. I am wondering wether it would be worth it to use a energy suspension or try to find a aftermarket swaybar set for the front. Any thoughts on who might make one?

The stock front swaybar is stout...really stout. It's just that the end links suck and are prone to corrossion then failure.

Check this link for more info:

If it were me, I'd put better end links up front, keeping the stock bar. That's less than $30 to fix the front. Then spend ~$150 and put a Hotchkiss or Hellwig (sp?) rear sway bar in to help overall handling and reduce understeer. My .02

Just changed oil and noticed passenger side link was broke. Guess I'm not alone. Checker Auto had link w/ "red rubberish" bushings. Got one tonight. Any advice to removing the old and installing the new? How tight do I torque down he new link?

The p/n was a McQuay-Norris SL244HD, at $22/ea. Is that reasonable? Elsewhere here, I was seeing $7 or so... should I shop around?
