It's quite easy. Make sure your car is on flat ground and make the swap. One bolt is on the sway bar, and the other one is on the control arm.

i just did this past weekend. you may need a second jack to lift the control arm an inch to take the rods out. spray them with wd40 or some sort of break free liquid.

Not sure i understand what rods you are reffering to. Are these rods holding the links?

Are the oem links the best to get or i can get a direct oem replacement like the ones here http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/cata...&parttype=7580
