You'll know that Moog and Mevotech are out, as well as any that don't have fully sealed boots. Plus, I consider Mevotech as CCC.
The Deezas I installed last year are basically still sound themselves. The problem is that they get loose and are egging out the holes in the sway bar. Problem is that the portion of the stud that sits against the bar is not wide enough to give enough clamping force. I have tried Loctite and double nuts to prevent them from getting loose. That's not the problem. It eventually "eats" into the hole in the bar and gets loose enough to start making noise and egging out the hole further.
If you look at the pics of the ACDelcos, they have a wide shoulder (or maybe a washer?) to hold onto the bar better. And I'm just wondering how long did the originals last on your trucks? Mine came with Moogs that had failed. The two junkers I found recently still had ACDelcos so I'm wondering if they are better than the aftermaket links.
Oh, and I won't be able to reuse the Deezas with washers because I totally fubared the allen key holes the last time I re-installed them.
Any comments?
