Default These aftermarket endlinks or OEM?

Has anybody tried these endlinks?

Or I should just use OEM ones? I think that my rear passenger side one went out, because it makes a clunking/rattling noise whenever I go over bumps. Had a opinion from a friend's dad who is a mechanic and said that it sounds like the endlinks are bad. BTW I am on tanabe coils.

I doubt you have an endlink problem unless whomever installed your Tanabes sliced the rubber seal and they've got dirt in them. The OEM pieces typically last over 200k miles.

You have an issue with your install, not your endlinks.

Did you replace your rear sway bar?

I did the install myself and I didn't cut anything. But I will take them off and clean them and see what will happen.
