How do I test if an end link is bad?
 
I’m still trying to diagnose the reason why my car squeaks turning leff while in motion and I suspect it’s a bad endlink but I’m not 100% sure so I was wondering anyone here knows how I would be able to test if my endlink has gone bad or not? Thanks!

Someone told me to just remove the end links and drive around really quick and see if the noise goes away, and if it does then it’s the endlink but idk how safe that is?

cars handling doesnt go to shit when you remove endlinks/sway bars

they jsut a little looser and youll feel the body roll more. if hes just disconnecting it and shooting up the block and back? easy day


off road guys typically dont run endlinks or sways

Okay cool thank you. so if I’m disconnecting one of them should I just disconnect both or the one that I suspect is bad only?

Disconnect both. Be sure to ziptie the swaybar in place while they're off
