Sway bar link are not the same as the chassis links. In short there are no aftermarket higher performance sway bar links for our cars.

thats alot bro .. ok so 1 last question .. is it needed to change these sway bar links when installing after market sway bars?

The links only need to be changed if they're worn out. How many miles does your car have? Usually if there are no rips or tears in the link boots then you're fine.

No need to replace unless they're worn out. I've installed a few sets on GS with over 100k miles and the links have no play in it.

How much came out?

You should be fine unless you're severely out of grease.

hobojoe

ummm, i wouldnt say alot but an ok ammt did, im assuming from research i could still drive it with grease missing and i might just run the risk of the link going bad and having to replace it correct?

Yup. I think you'll be fine though. Some of my grease came out and til this day i'm not dead

hobojoe

If you want, you can get some lithium grease (automotive section, made for cv joints and stuff) and squirt some back in.
