Do you need sway bar links if you have aftermarket sway bars? Or do they go together? Sorry if that's a noobish question.

I had the same problem when I was disassembling my suspension. I had to cut 3 of the 4. Aftermarket sway bars do NOT come with end links. You need to purchase OEM. And they my friend are around $40-50 a pop. When or if you go in, please let me know. Maybe we can get some sort of deal purchasing 8 instead of 4.

Mine weren't stripped. They were just rusted beyond compare. I Liquid Wrenched those bitches, but with no avail. I think it's the design. You have to use (2) 14 mm open/closed wrenches to accomplish the job, and you must put an open between the ball joint and the nut (this metal is incredibly soft). Then you torque the nut off.

oem endlinks work, it is nice to get new ones and not use the old anyways because the bushings tend to start cracking as they age.
