Well I got under the car today and replaced my pads so I finally go to look at what the thumping is all about. The right boot is torn (I expected it) and imma take some time tomorrow to fix it.

Does anyone know how I can find those end link things on the car so I can replace them!?!

yep they do. Also you might want to ask the dealership to be more specific as to what they are talking about and have them physically show you the problem. Try prothane.com for the bushings should be 8-12 bucks u.s.

I went to napa and bought the sway bar link bolts and bushings for 14 bucks new. So it's not expensive and there are extremly easy to change took me 1/2 hour on a lift.

put the car on jack stands, and use the jack to unweight the suspension as you remove each endlink bolt so they don't spring ya in the noodle

umm not that it will be the same price but I got the driver side axle for my 91 crx for 99 bucks complete from raxles and the service was AWESOME they gaurntee the axle forever regarless of why it failed. Infact I had ruined mine by not connecting properly and he sent me a new with no shipping cost however i did have to mail the old back. Any ways they are great and treated me with alot of respect and the guy on the phone races a miata too. Good luck Give them a call at 1-800-257-8192 they are located in florida so it might take a few days to get too you.

Go to your local parts store. I paid $100 CDN after core return for a half shaft. I remember some guys in the US saying they bought it in the $60-70 range after core return...
