Default Front Sway Bar Links - Preferred/Recommended Brands

Hello Everyone,

I have a small clunk sound coming from my front end when I hit hard lips on driveways or bumps on the road. I’m going to replace the sway bar links first as it seems to be the least expensive way to start this process of elimination.

Has anyone here performed this job and if so, what brands do you recommend? I’ve always been a fan of Meyle on my cars, but I want to get second and third opinions before I click “complete purchase” on my vendor’s website. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers!!!

The Meyle, that are supposed to be German parts, on my Jaguar, were made in China.
Moog, Delco premium, rear upper, as well as lowers all made in China.
All made by the same third party manufacturer, W T F
Buy name brand parts, and hope for the best.
Because just about all the parts appear to be made in China.

Thanks Wingrider. That’s what I was hoping to avoid....😕

I ended up getting the Lemforder ones from my local distributor. $25/each plus tax brand new. Got new bushings as well for the brackets that tie the sway bar to the subframe $12/ each plus tax.
💯
