Sway bar links?
This is insane!
Amazon from $8/pair and on up, many, many to choose from!
NAPA local parts store all in the $60-80 price range!
ebay all over the place too!
I’m not sure any OEM are listed.
advice?

The last pair I bought were actually greaseable by Moog… have you got on RockAuto and priced? Also I always watch the CLOSEOUTS and actually stock up on some future parts when they 50% off and better.
There are some Beck/Arnley right now being close out at $8 2 left.
If you are going to pay full price I would start looking at FCPEURO with their advertised lifetime warranty ?

The swaybar links have a great deal of force placed on them as you corner, as it is a 5500# vehicle with a high center of gravity, and the swaybar ends are well in from the tires. If you corner hard a lot, you will go through swaybar links. These ball-in-socket joints are very old technology, so there really aren't fatal differences between the worst and the best. If you get greasable links, they will probably last much longer - but then you have to grease them. They're easy enough to replace that I would just get mid-tier quality and replace them when they start getting on your nerves.
Delphi are $15 apiece, and it's a reasonable chance they are the OEM supplier.
You could get $80 links and they might last somewhat longer. They're so easy to change, though, I'd have a hard time justifying them.
