Does it matter which sway bar links to use

Just wondering if there's any difference in sway bar links?
Which ones are you using ?
I bought a pair while back on ebay they were so cheap .I don't want to make the same mistake.

Just remember that you get what you pay for! When it comes to suspension components, I usually don't go cheap. Go with either OEM or quality brands like Moog or Beck/Arnley.

Finally I ordered a set of Moogs sway bar links (Rear)
from rock auto ..$39 a piece not bad they have great prices.
I order my upper control arms from partsBin...they are the worst in customer service..I bought genuine Acura Parts..I am not going to mess with after market. Except Moogs they have great products better than OEM I think.
Rockauto had ctrl arms aftermarket for $123 for $15 more you can get Genuine ones..no brainer!!
I am going to install these tomorrow ..let you no if all these noises are dissipating ..
If not going to replace all the struts and bushings ...Just can't stand noises..
Little things that annoys me
Tires if they are bold
Gas light indicator an engine light or anything abnormal
I fix them immediately .
My wife on the other hand leaves her Honda Pilot all the way to E..
Can't stand that..
Anyways I'll let you know

Please do. I have the same sound and I've been looking forward to fixing it. Are the rear ones ambidextrous (both sides)? I see driver and passenger side for front ones, but there is no specification for rear ones.

My Mechanic was busy today ..Couldnt install them today..Plus my sway bar links were delivered by lazy UPS by 5.30 PM..no wonder they are laying off people ..
I love Europe ..your mail is delivered by 7.30 am .
By the way I opened the MOOGS sway bar links box ..oh man!! these sway bars are soo thick they can hold a bulldozer ..
Very high quality they are definitely way better than Acura ones.
Came with grease 2 little screws I guess where yo grease them ...
Cant wait to install em.If these don't solve the problem its definitely my struts.
