For all of those who have replaced your swaybar end links with one's from rockauto.com or another aftermarket company; do you have any complaints or regrets that you didn't spend 4x as much to get a genuine Lexus part?

I replaced mine with some from schucks. Don't have any complaints. They don't pop or creek if that's what you're worried about

Thanks. I was just wondering if there was a difference in quality; steel used, how durable the boots are, etc.

Planning on replacing most of my suspension bushings this weekend. If that happens, there will be plenty of pics along with writeups.

Sounds good! If possible stay away from Urathane bushings. They'll be okay for a bit but will start to squeak at ya
