When i raised my car to do the STS my friend told me that my endlinks on my driverside are shot. I get this knuckling/thumping sound when coming to a complete stop,going over big bumps, and start going up my driveway. I recently put on agx struts w/ eibach springs. I did not replace the strut mounts because they looked ok as per my mechanic. Can someone tell me what im going to be spending on these end links? also, should this solve my problem?

 

I just recently replaced the front sway bar bushings and end link bushings. You can get them from energy suspension and I think it was about 10 dollars for everything. My bushings didnt look that bad, but I replaced them for the hell of it. My car has 73k, and I could feel an immediate improvement when i drove it right after. The old bushings were a little chewed up. As for your bumping sound, I don't know if this is where the problem is from, but I can say that you wont lose out on anything if you replace the bushings since it costs hardly nothing and they arent too difficult to install.

 

I dont think its the bushings alone, but rather the whole end link? I think!?!?! is that possible? Does the energy suspension bushings come w/ everything or does that not include the end link bushings? Where did you get it for so cheap?

There is also a group deal on for this right now... check the GD forum.

 

When I replaced my control arms, my end links for stabilizer were shot, this would cause a crunch sound everytime i hit a bump. After both were replaced, this sound went away..The part is called stabilzer end links..the kit includes bushings and all the hardware you need..you can order it here:
