Keep the front stabilizer bar tied to the suspension with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link Kit 542-609.

Worn stabilizer bar links often produce a clunk or rattle from the front end over bumps and through corners, along with loose or vague handling. If a failed front link is the cause, this kit restores that connection between the sway bar and suspension. Replacing links in pairs is good practice for balanced, even response side to side.
