I was backing up out of the parking lot at my work, when I heard a good creak from my front right suspension. I put it up on the hoist at the end of the day and started pulling on stuff. I first found my rear sway bar bushings were both a bit sloppy, and then I yanked on the front cradle and right away found the little links from the lower strut mount to the forward control arm were squeaking. I tried pulling back the dust boot and spraying some chassis grease in it, but it was still noisy. Maybe it's just the temperature change and it's just temporary, but I'm so picky about my car I'll replace both anyway.

Anyway, my question is; when I call around to find these front links, what do I call them? To me, they are "lower strut mount - to - control arm" links, but something tells me people won't know what that is. Also where the joint attaches to the control arm it looks like there is part of the joint inside the arm, and I may have to replace the arm as well. Can anyone confirm?

And one last thing, if I want to put polyurethane bushings on the rear sway bar, what's a good manufacturer and what #s do I need?

Thanks a lot in advance guys! Once I get the parts I'll make a tutorial on the installation side of things biggrin.gif

Try TCBparts or cheaptoyotaparts. The fig8s can be had for about £80, its the lower arm #1 that will cost a small fortune, near £300 each. They are easy to replace though with the correct tool. should take about 45mins a side. I wrote a "How To" for the GT4OC but this site wont let me add attachments.
