Joints & Links

Choosing the right joints & links

Sway bar links and ball joints are wear parts. A worn sway bar link makes a knocking noise over uneven roads, while a worn ball joint shows up as play in the wheel and uneven tyre wear, and should be fixed promptly.

Links vary in length and in the fitting at each end, so match the part to the position on your car. Sway bar links are usually replaced in pairs so both sides behave the same.

Check these before you order

• Part and position: front or rear, upper or lower
• Left or right hand side where handed
• Length and end fittings against the old part
• Series and build range

If your build date sits near the start or end of a listed range, send us your VIN through the contact page and we will confirm the fit before you buy.
