Six month + Update:
My Pass. side Sway Bar End link got real sloppy in the past several months -- and I FINALLY pulled the tire to check it.
The lower nut that fastens the sway bar to the lower control arm was backed nearly all the way OFF the threaded endlink!
Cause: backing nut with "teeth" was worn smooth, hence: no bite into the lower control arm.
Needless to say, THAT got a new lock-washer and the impact tightening!
Ah -- MUCH better, again.
Have to say -- when these sway-bar links wear-out, I'll prob. buy moogs next time -- these are kinda weak looking, and the rubber boot is already worn (due to nut backing-off prematurely).
All else is satisfactory thus far -- prob. no more than 5k miles since I installed them last fall. I used everything in the kit EXCEPT the inner tie-rods.
I'll post more as the miles build.

So just verifying this kit comes with a full set of:
Lower control arms/bushings
Ball joints
Inner/outer tie rods
and sway bar end links
If so I would like to order them, I should also mention I'm in Canada. Thanks
