I recently purchased all 4 end links from MStudt, and I'm super impressed. Very burly, well made, and a great price.
 
+1 for Mstudt. Im running all 4 of his links and i love them.
[MENTION=98153]MStudt[/MENTION] Thanks again man, love your product.

I'm starting to take orders again as of today. I had some much needed time off, and was able to get quite a bit done on both of our vehicles.

Send me a PM if you're interested.

After attempting my lca bushings this weekend I understand your time off. Lol
 
I bought a kit off ebay $98 it had 2 UPPER BALL JOINTS RH & LH, 2 LOWER BALL JOINTS RH & LH, 2 INNER TIE RODS ENDS RH & LH, 2 OUTER TIE RODS ENDS RH & LH, 2 FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS RH & LH

My suggestion look for a ball joint kit they usually come all together

Getting the alignment bolts out was a nightmare for me. I'm so glad I had some freshly rebuilt OEM lowers to swap right in.

Yeah wish I went that route. Lol. Live and learn. I installed spc alignment bolts plates and tubes. The spc kit comes with plastic sleeves so they can't rust and seize up.

I wouldn't recommend that kit to anybody. The inner and outer TRE's might be OK. No way I'd run those LBJ's or UBJ's though. Only stick with OEM for the LBJ's, and OEM or 555 for the UBJ's.

Look harder at what? Please show me in anything you typed that says OEM. I'm also going to call BS until you provide a link to this unheard of OEM deal. Considering OEM LBJ's are about $90 per side I find this very hard to believe. But I could be wrong.

If this is the kit you're talking these are NOT OEM.

I have a broken front sway bar link, so I am going to replace both sides. I was hoping to install something a little more rugged than OEM. I can't really afford the $250 set from Sonoran Steel, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

I just bought a set of Moog rears for a 1995 4runner of amazon for $19 each (to have extended links). I bought some non-oem links off rock auto for my other truck for cheap price and they seem to be holding up fine.

Those are the same parts he got, but he saved ~ 25 cents through a different seller lol. OEM brah.

I was looking at these 4RUNNER Mevotech Stabilizer Bar Links MK90681 - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing , but they are so cheap it makes me wonder. Can any of you folks suggest something under $200 a pair?

Thanks

Are you lifted or do you just need OEM replacement links?

Please don't put that junk on your truck. Return it, resell it, throw them out.
Before you do anything to your truck search this site. There's tons of info here that will lead you in the right direction.
