Default '04 Dak QC rear sway bar links

Bushings are shot and the sway bar is knocking around, driving me nuts. Are there busing replacements available or is it just easier/better to buy the whole link assembly?

Looks like Moog's are like $40 each for the whole link assembly.

So I take it the sway bar doesn't do all that much if it can be taken out?

Just pull the Links off and drive it see if it bothers you if not leave it as is no links or pull the complete thing off.

I have mine pretzeled and it put a good 40 pounds of pre-load on the right rear in doing so (racing thing). Being in long island, i don't think you'd miss it because it probably doesn't do anything.

At the moment it's doing more banging around than anything else, with the amount it's knocking around it's probably not doing much of anything.

Where I live on LI is probably pretty similar driving to your area of TX, it's not a congested area.
