Here is my opinion, Anything that has rubber to metal or is a moving part should be greaseable.

I doubt you will find a greaseable front end link due to the design style, it may be possible to find a rear link that is greasable, just gonna have to do some research and find something from another vehicle that will match. Do not recall ever seeing or hearing of anyone that has them.

I will be removing my front sway bar this winter to see how it changes the driving style of the front end. I have heard and feel that the front sway bar delete will improve the bumpiness of the front end. If I am wrong I will just reinstall it.

110k and all that front end work needs to be done? That's 68350 miles, are our front ends really that delicate? I'm at 62000, I've only put 4500 of those on it.. I can see one of my sway-bar links looks new, so that was done not too long ago.

But am I in for a lot more front end stuff?

also the parts really arent that expensive luckily but the labor will kill you if you can do the work yourself. i only paid to have my front struts done because the upper strut bolt was way too corroded and seized to be able to do in the driveway. im still under 1000$ for all that work and that is replacing with top of the line parts.

also you lucky bastards in the states will be paying half as much for your parts compared to what i had to pay in canada.
