Yes I know there are plenty of end link threads. Just another question though. Just got done with my rough country lift. Went driving around, and noticed some squeaking over some bumps. Further inspection I can feel the squeek on the sway bar when moving the truck up and down. Can hear the squeeking on both sides, and feel slight vibration that coincides with the squeaking while holding the sway bar. Do I need different end links with just the 2" leveling kit?
sway bar end links

- Start date
I guess I should add, the end links all got changed about a year ago with no problems prior to lift. Made sure I tightenened all the end links as well.

How do the bushings look? (mounted to the frame, D shape, sway bar runs through them, one on each side)

Us offroaders sometimes use quick disconnect ones and had to make them ourselves sine no big companies really support this platform for such usage. I just made some simple bolt on ones and they are doing really well for me.
Couple heim joints, some all-thread and few bolts and washers. Used lug nuts on the bolts for the rounded end to allow a little movement. Joints are greasable. Simple, strong, easy to tighten up if needed.
Not sure on the bushings. Before i made these I had the front bar unhooked for about a year and my rear bar has been fully removed for a long time. The SS performance guys would likely know better.

I have these.

Sometimes the squeak can come from the upper control arm.

The Smaxx ones have been reported to not last all that long without a rebuild. How long have you ran them and how are they holding up?

I view these endlinks as being binding in the wrong directions when compared to the stock style. Some of the suspension movement needs to be fluid and bind-free. I went with greasable Moog end links. Greased like every other oil change and they should last a good long time.

You're probably buying the name for them.
-they're pretty popular in the aftermarket suspension world

You should be able to find the corresponding length part here http://www.energysuspension.com/universal-products/sway-bar-end-links-set-sizing-charts.html and use it to replace the broken part for cheaper then the Moogs.Matt said:
