I Also had my sway bar links replaced 90 days ago with Moog and they already look rusted like a b#$... Did the other mechanic I went to maybe take me? Why would they be rusted already? What else should I check and could it be the sway bar links?

Thanks for any input guys I appreciate it...

I'm experiencing the same problem. Since I have also replaced the balljoints/tie rods, I was thinking it was either the brake caliper/hardware, upper control arm, or fender liner stress.

I can hear it when I just gently apply the brakes at low speed. Doesn't seem to happen under any other conditions.
