Default End link replcement???

hey guys, going to replace my end links with metal ones and while I'm at it upgrading my sway bar bushings - - any tricks or things to know?
Or is it just a straight R&R job?

Thanks

straight forward job. make sure the end links are tight or they will make noise. you may want to upgrade the sways while you're there but it's up to you. due to a shipping error, I replaced my plastic endlinks first and then put the sways in a few weeks later. I could tell a difference between my worn out plastic endlinks and the new metal ones.
GL with the swap

Very easy to do and as stated above make sure they are tight. I had to retighten mine because I started to hear a little noise but now it's gone.
