Hi,
Climbed under the car today to look at a few things and noticed my LHS front Sway Bar Link boot has torn. Vehicle is getting a suspension kit (40mm lift) installed in the next week or so, so I will grab one and maybe get them to pop it in at the same time. The rubber looks in good nick, the RHS looks good also but just looked like it has been stretched a bit far and torn. They definitely aren't factory original and have been changed at some time. The front has sagged significantly (40mm below factory) so maybe being pushed in a manner it doesnt like.
Question I have are:
1. Must I replace the pair (left and right) or can I replace the torn one only?
2. I have noticed these are relatively inexpensive on Ebay - Are the Ebay items worthy or should I source from a known reputable automotive parts supplier?
3. Install looks simple from online vids I have seen. If i chose to do it myself, Do I have to raise both sides and support on stands etc to take the opposing weight off the sway bar?....or can I lift one wheel up at at time to do them?....(I am guessing that the entire front would need to be relieved of weight but thought I would ask to be sure).
Cheers,
Bart.
