Swaybar links are some of the most common wear items in the front suspension. They are in constant motion and are exposed to debris and the elements. Hard driving on the street or track will accelerate wear. When sway bar links go bad there is usually a very slight clunking or clicking sound when going over bumps. If ignored the ball joint could separate from the link and make the sway bar inoperable and dangerous.
