4th gen, 2.5" lift. I'm running after market sway bar links built by a guy on here. They're Heim joints though and I'm in Wisco, so they get dry, worn and squeak like a MF.
Options? I dont love the OEM design with the allen wrench to hold the stud while you tighten the nut. Seems like that's the only option though? I just know it was a PITA to get the OEM off when I did the swap a couple years ago. Been running the Heim joint versions for a couple years and wife is tired of the noise.
Have you tried any Tri-Flow superior lubricant at all? It was recommended to me when I bought by rear Heim links.
Cheers from a couple hours away from MadTown
