Hi guys,

I have to replace my Front Sway Bar Links
but I dont know wich one to choose:

the MTC brand from FCP-Groton at $15.00

or the ScanTech from eEUROPARTS at $14.90

Any recommendations ?

Thanks a bunch

It depends on how long you plan to keep the car. The cheap ones will last for about 30K and the Volvo (OEM) ones will last >80K. Also depends on the type of roads you drive on. City driving with a lot of pot-holes will wear them faster. For my step-daughter's 95 I got the cheap ones and injected extra grease under the rubber cover to see if that will make them last longer. She does a lot of city driving. We'll see.......

I bought the Volvo OEM from eEuroparts. I heard that the ScanTech version doesn't last long.
