Default I need to replace sway bar end links
Should I cough up the extra cash and replace the bars themselves as well?
Things are tight right now.

Thanks.

Unless you want to go to bigger bars, there is no reason to replace the swaybars. They will last the life of the car. Just go ahead and replace the endlinks.

May want to check the sway bar bushings while you're in there.

My links are in pieces, minus some I'm sure!
I also think this may cure my clicking from the front end. I jacked one side, spun the wheel and no sound and no "keepers" on the wheel studs. I moved past the rotor and looked for the "links" and they were barely together.

Just passing that along.
