Luckily they are easy to change. When mine broke, i rebuilt it, and used it for like 2 months before i ordered mine off rock auto...
It broke off at the head a bit higher then motodeficients did, so I was able to use a lathe to drill a hole dead center, then I tapped it, and threaded a bolt into it...
Here is a pic...
I still have it, saving it as a spare, but i put a new one on.

I ordered two of the front stabilizer links from rock auto for $71 shipped with 2 day shipping. Cheapest price I could find from a dealer around here was $68 plus tax for 1. Hopefully the ones from the 2006 schematic will work on my 2005.

Yeah I do live in a heavily salted state, but I was suprised how rusty a lot of the front end parts are already. I think I might get under the truck with a few cans of rubberized undercoating and start spraying. Anybody think that will help? Or will it just seal the rust in and make it rust more.
