Stabilizer bar linkages
Good morning
Bought wifey a 97 lerado as a gap filler between vehicles and possible future project for me
When purchased the driver side stabilizer linkage was busted so I replaced both linkages and all the bushings, linkages and bar to frame.
Three weeks ago I replaced the drivers side hub and u- joint behind it. Since then, both of my linkages busted again. Granted it's an easy, cheap fix but why would they keep breaking?
Any input is very appreciated. Thanks for taking the time

This is happening on a 1997 JGC?
I heard if you are looking for swaybar linkages in a junkyard, the pre-1996 ZJ has a better dual rubber grommet style.. I think the goal is to eliminate the upper ball and socket?

the cheap ones dont last long. I bit the bullet and did Moog with the grease zerk, I did a little research and seems the consensus was they line up better. So far so good.
