I’ve had a “clunking” sound coming from the front end for a couple weeks now. Sounded/felt like the front left strut assembly was loose. I was finally able to narrow it down to the front left sway bar link. I took it in, but they said it was not covered under the extended warranty because it’s a wearable part! Should I just replace it with an OEM part or is there something that will last longer? Lethal has a set from Steeda for $180, but are they any better than Motorcraft?

Only factory end links. I’ve broken everything aftermarket there is for this car…back to stock with no issues.

THeyre absolutely considered a wear item. Like Unbroken said, just stick with OE.

I’ve always had good luck with Moog parts but I’ll take the advice and stick with OEM.
