Performance vs standard (sway bar)
Found one of the knocking sounds under the front end. Stabilizer bar cushions are just worn out and the sway bar grommets are dry rotted. I see that Morris 4x4 has the cushions (part 52088523 ) for 3.99 each and I know to replace both. However thought about replacing both sway bar links. Morris has a standard and performance. I assume I could just replace the grommets (part 52001132 ) on the ome link. (two on each) much cheaper. I really don't know what would be the benefit of $13 for performance. What's the main difference?

I personally have never heard of a performance sway bar link, something about that just doesnt sound right. Maybe it has multiple mounting holes for adjustment? Other than that i don't see how you could even make a performance sway bar link.

Well they sell both and one is $13 more. I thought maybe it had something to do with the grommet material which (if in fact it does), doesn't seem to me to be a big deal. The ones on there now are factory,...lasting 15 years. I agree, never heard of performance other than perhaps a thicker, stock material.

Yeah i guess it could be poly bushings, but no reason to replace the links. Poly is harder than rubber so it has less give to have a firmer feel.
