Replace sway bar links with bad shocks?
Hi everyone. I'm saving up to replace my struts, but my right side front sway bar link is also bad now.
Should I wait to replace the link until after I replace the struts, or is it ok to replace the link now?

Replace the sway bar links (both sides) now.
Our MOOG replacement links had a hex on the ball-side of the joint so they should be easy to disassemble when 'strut-time' happens.
It is corrosion on the threads of the links that makes them difficult to remove. After you replace them, be sure to slather the threads in grease or anti-seize to prevent future corrosion.
