Unhappy sway bar links

well it appears my sway bar links have gone bad. whenever i ride down the road in my car you can hear the sway bar vibrating underneath the front of my car and it makes the most annoying noise you've ever heard. does anyone know of a way i could either get rid of the noise or somewhere i can order the links from other than honda? i would get them at the honda dealership but i honestly never have time to go to the nearest one, not with the hours i work. any help would be appreciated.

are you sure its your sway bar, becuse what you described sounds like your exaust hitting the bottom of the chassis....

i have an 01 ex coupe and the sound is definitely coming from the FRONT... and i'm pretty sure it's the sway bar.

how would you describe the sound i have what sounds to be a similar sound. coming from my front end i thought it was the shocks but they seem not to be blown. i would be interested to know what it is cause the sound is really annoying sound.

well it's like metal banging together... somewhat high pitched i guess... but it increases frequency in relation to the speed of my car... i.e. if i'm going fast i have much more rattles with higher intervals and at slower speeds it's the opposite.... also if i go over a bump or something that rocks my car it sounds even worse

Higher speeds or Higher RPMs?

Seriously, Check to see if any of the exaust hanger are broken or have come off. 1st rule of auto repair, change the cheepest part first!
