Sway Bar end links...
I bought these via ebay, they look pretty good for sway bar end links, Zerks included.
Figured for lower-priority parts to go aftermarket, as many here have done.
What have you decided on? PS: My susp is stock, not-lifted.

It looks pretty sturdy! The front links are wider than the stock. My 97 still have OEM links and are solid like new except the rubber bushings. Probably I'll replace the rubber bushings with OEM.

I have a gently used set of OEM rubber end link bushings if you're interested. I replaced them with poly when I did the sway bar bushings (the EL bushings came in the kit)

I used some $18 end links from NAPA for the time being ( budget constraints) but I'm curious to see how well these hold out for you.

Those look beefy as hell, where did you hear about this company?
Do they fit OK, installed yet?

I bought the Moog K90681 links, though I have not put them in yet. They also look beefy, though I'm annoyed that they appear to be unpainted, so I need to do that still. A small thing, but it would have been nice to get links already prepainted with durable paint, one less thing to deal with. Oh well.

I believe you're looking at a painted weld on a $37 set of sway bar endlinks.

Nah, no cracks, just bad lighting and some reflections from the grease.
I looked them all over with a jewelers loop.
They're sway bar end links, nothing structural, as I go OEM for all the important items i.e. UBJ/LBJ etc.

They look sturdy enough for sway bar end links, haha. I guess we'll just have to see.

Apologies, it's been cold here in NY, so I put off R & R'ing my suspension mods, (Bilsteins, springs, endlinks & bushings), until it warms a bit.

Understandable. I'll take the risk on the buy -- If they don't fit, seller better return my ish :P
