Core 4x4 front sway bar end links

[Noeyes]

Last winter I had an aev 2inch lift installed on my Mojave and so far have loved it. Recently I noticed a metal on metal sound coming from the front end when I'd pull out of the driveway and occasionally over rr tracks and such. Had time yesterday to crawl around under the truck while my son bounced the front end up and down to try and locate the noise and found one of the front sway bar end links loose. Tightened it up and the noise is gone but the upper boot didn't look good and they seem pretty flimsy to begin with. Anyone have any experience with the core 4x4 links? I don't really off road much and for 109$ for fixed greasable links they look pretty good.

I put them on front and rear with my lift a few hundred miles ago. No issues so far, easy install.

Those are next on my list to get. The Core end links.

They are on sale right now, 10 to 20% off depending on which series (cruise, camp, crawl) you want.

How have these CORE links been? I too have front and rear AEV links similar to OEM that have failed within a year causing a metal clunking noise.

what series did you get?

I actually haven't ordered any yet since the noise quit after i tightened up the ones from aev. I figured I'd squeeze all the life i could from them and then order a set.

Gotcha so was it one of the nuts loose on the permanent ball stud side at the sway bar?

Yep. Sounded like an old bed spring everytime id go over a dip or bump in the road that squatted the front end. Thought at first the ball joimts were going out.

I installed the Core linkage a year ago. Still nice and tight. If you get the Core linkage. Get the steering stabilizer bracket at the same time. The Core bar is 2" in diameter. It's hard to find that diameter.
