End Link Question

I recently installed a full set of 4 KYB GR-2 Struts on my 2000 Prizm, and I still hear quite a bit of rattling. After looking underneath I'm pretty sure its the end-links on the ends of the sway bar, because I can move them and they sound like what I am hearing. However, endlinks are $50 apiece. I found these endlink bushings on JC Whitney, anyone know which ones if any would work for my car? I think these would be a better alternative to replacing the whole endlink, since only the bushings go bad anyways. Please let me know, Link below

You mean the sway bar linkage? I have had problem with the rear sway bar linkage. I took one of them off, and have been driving without one. I have not requested any quote on the price of sway bar linkage. But it should not be more that $20 a piece.

Best prices I've found on most car parts is rockauto.com
Rear Sway bar links are $50 each
Front are 36-45 each

Those polyurethane bushings from JC Whitney I posted above are 9-12 dollars for a set. Anyone know if those will fit, and which size?

I seriously hope you didn't just tell me how to search ebay for a Strut Tower Bar. I'll assume that was just a brain fart or something. I'm looking for Sway Bar End Links.

No, I hadn't tried those site, but thanks for the links.

Did you happen to take a look at the urethane bushings I posted above? I'm trying to figure out if any of those would fit the end links on a 2000 Corolla/Prizm. That'd be even cheaper.

the front sway bar links were $42 at AutoParts World and $57 on prostreetonline, so RockAuto was still the cheapest at $36. Those prices are all each, so obviously I need twice that amount. But those are nice sites

Still looking for an answer to my original question, would any of the polyurethane bushings at this link work for my 2000 Corolla/Prizm front sway bar end links? If so, which ones.
