1) When Installing the Sway Bar Link is there any thing I need to be concerned about? 2) How can I tell if the one on the Passenger side need to be replaced?

Thanks for a quick response.

The sway bar links for the front suspension may "click" if they are worn out. Remove them and inspect the end links, the dust boots often tear and should not be used to diagnose the health of the link itself.
