It depends on if the endlinks are your problem or not. If it's something else, then replacing the endlinks won't solve your problem. You'll just be throwing parts at it. And don't forget what ernie wrote above; there are two different endlinks for sale on LG site: quiet (more expensive), T1 (less cost and not necessarily quiet per their words).

Take log screwdrivwer or short pry bar and place it on the suspension cradle and under the sway bar near the end link. Lift up on pry bar and if there's any play or you hear a pop, it's the link.

Thanks guys -- good ideas. I hope that they are causing the noise (easy fix), but if not then at least I won't spend $299 to find out.

You should have no trouble with them. I put PFADT JOC sways on my 2012 coupe with the oem endlinks and in 17K miles they were quiet and then I sold the car. With my '13 GS I am running those same bars and now with 7K miles they are also quiet ( so far ) but I don't anticipate any trouble.

We were having problems with our 2009 giving clunking/popping noises in parking lot turns, could even feel it in the steering wheel sometimes.
Dealer replaced F & R sway links in 2010 at about 20k miles, now at 63k miles and still quiet.

I have Hotchkis sway bars on my 13 GS. One track day at Fontana ate the front end links. I have three new sets on the shelve left over from my C5. Lol..... The stock ones are just not very good.
