Wassup fellas, been planning on changing my sway bar bushing and end links because my car has been moving alot over bumps and it never really did that before, also car has 93k on it and these parts have never been replaced. I know for sure im doing the front bushings and end links. My question is are the rears that important? Since I was under there I was just going to do them all.
(forgot to mention I do have active sway bars in case anyone asked)

Part # for the rears 33506781537
Bushings rear 37126761022
Part # for the fronts 31306781547/48
bushings front 31356753913

All help appreciated!!!

Sooooo NO ONE has done this? Thought I'd get a couple suggestions.

funny I just did this last weekend I noticed my rears when had the car up and I think I will change them soon the boots still looked good and were not ripped or cracked fronts were easy took about 45 min to do both sides

I replaced end links in the front while I was doing my front suspension. My car was also moving around quite a bit, but it was due to worn tension struts and ball joints at the control arm. Worn suspension parts like tension struts and/or control arms are more likely to cause the symptoms you're describing. Have you ever replaced anything in the front of the car?

What made you do them any particular symptoms? the rears looked good but that doesnt mean they dont need to be changed thinking about just doing them since I'm under there. Did you replace any bolts? TIS says too but Idk if its exactly necessary.

I didnt see that anyone responded to this, thanks bro... I've had control arm and tension struts replaced in the front about a year ago maybe, I have to check my records to see exactly when. Could it be tie rods? MY only other guess would be the end links and bushings, does the rear have as much impact as the front? Im trying to hold off on tie rods until I get these coils so I wont have to do 2 alignments. but this swaying over bumps make me feel unsafe I drive too fast for that.

How old are your shocks, and what suspension do you have on the car? Worn shocks will also make the car feel like it's totally disconnected and 'floating'. Sway bar end links, when worn, will make noise more than have ill effects on handling. As long as they're providing a connection between the sway bar and control arm, they're shouldn't really affect handling.

Age of shocks? Active sway bars working properly (you're not getting fault codes)?

worn sway bar links would typicaly knock or make noise. you may have another issue. are you sure your active roll system is working properly?

93K orginal sport suspension, I got the car with 33k a little over 2 years ago. I havent changed them. lets say im on the highway and im in a curve if i hit a bump in the road the car sorta like sways as if its not planted. for like 2 seconds not for long but it was always stiff/tight throughout the turn.. Does that make sense? Im not getting any errors just figured I would start with the end links and bushings. No errors im pretty sure everything is working fine.

And no dont hear any knocking noise. Only in cold weather when I turned the wheel the car would sound like flipper (literally) until something warmed up. Doesnt do it in anything above 40 degrees. sounds like rubber on metal going back and forth making a screech.

does your car stay flat in the turns?
have you ever changed your power steering fluid? the active roll system runs off the power steering pump.
do you have a cable and software? do a test.
