Sway bar link kit

[speedrich]

Hi guys!

Is there anyone with the same situation as I?

I have a 2006 XLT 4x4 that is at around 102k. I had the front link kit changed at the stealership at 81000 miles about 1 1/2 year ago. The typical sound of a dead link kit started again, just before the holidays. And before this kit was installed, I had about the same millage on a set from NAPA, which is sort of a Oreilly here in Canada.

It seems like I'm always getting these changed over and over!!!! Am I alone in this situation???

i bought moog ones for like $30 from advance auto parts and we do have NAPA over here in america lol. mine broke in the summer of 2013 after 127000 ish miles. The new joints are holding up fine so far and were easy to install, the old broken ones didnt want to come out however so they had to be persuaded with a saw.

Urethane link bushings will last longer. The important thing is to not over tighten them, as they will hammer themselves to death

Thank you guys!

Sorry for the NAPA thing hahahhhh i'm so ignorant.....

I will install the new link kit myself and will make sure that I don't overtight the bolts! But still, I did went to the dealership (??????)
