I was hearing a thump resonating through the floor whenever I'd go over a slight bump in the road. The sound was coming from the passenger side. When I grabbed a hold of the sway & shook it, I'd heard the same clunking noise. It's safe to say that the endlink has crapped out on me. I'm running a TODA 25mm front sway. How well would another set of oem endlinks hold up, or should I go the aftermarket route? Another qtn, does anyone have any experience w/ the Hotchkis 24mm rear sway bar, how does it perform?

another set of oem end links might hold or just break again later on, best route is to get a set of stronger aftermarket ones.

I have the Hotchkiss with the zerk fittings and rubber boots and they are nice, but the exterior rusts quickly. These are from just a single winter.

ok, just had the hotchkis links installed. the clunking sound is gone, but when I go over certain bumps I hear a kind of vibration/rattle from the front suspension. can this be my steering rack or the strut bearings?
