Default Sway bar end links - change both at same time?

I screwed up the front passenger end link while changing suspension.

Do I need to change out left and right front end links if I'm getting an aftermarket end link, or can I just change one? I'm concerned if it will change the handling dynamics with two different brand end links on left/right.

Any experience with Moog or Mevotech?

Heh, can't afford to drop $160 on end links right now, not including shipping/customs to Toronto.

Back to original question, need they be the same left and right?

Thanks!

You can replace just the one and you'll be fine. It's just that you are already in there and replacing them both at the same time will be easier since you'll have to at some point anyways. I have the Figs but moog products seem to be a favorite across all models on the forum. Might as well inspect the sway bar bushings while you're there and they are cheap to replace.

End links normally come as a set anyways. Unless you go OEM, you'll probably end up just getting two as a set.
