I know a few cars use plastic links, but I just put that in there for the clickbait.
I need to replace the front sway bar links on my "$3000 Prius" that I posted about previously. Looks like the Genuine Toyota parts are aluminum and I might be able to get a pair "overnighted from Japan" for a bit under $100 shipped.
Or I can get something basic in steel like Delphi from Rockauto for about $15 per, plus shipping of course.
I haven't run across aluminum sway bar links before. I'm assuming they were a weight saving fuel efficiency measure. But then, this car uses steel control arms, so what sense does that make?
