Being told that replacing 1 sway bar link is safe to do. I don't think it's safe to just change one side. Could someone let me know if I should be replacing them both?

Hi,

Replacing one is fine. This isn't something that will cause problems for you. However, if one has broken, oftentimes the other isn't far behind. So, if you can afford it, replacing both may be beneficial.

I attached the directions below for you. Let me know if you have questions or if I can help in any way.

Take care,

joe
