I picked these up from Autohauz AZ. Under $110 for all. Part numbers on the fotki.

Install is really easy if you have a jack, stands and a few tools. Install took about 1.5 hrs.

These things must have been bad a long time. I can't believe the difference.

A must for a car with over 80K on the odometer.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/RoberTT/maintenance/sway-bar-down-link-/">Down links install...</a></li></ul>

Did they cause a handling symptom like shimmying or vibration?

Default I was getting a slight vibration, but thought it was tires....>>
After the short test drive, the vibration seems to be gone.

Default I've had several people drive my car and I got several different answers...>>
Finally I took Hans (TTinCT) advice and replaced them. He was spot on. For under $120 it's worth it.
