damn, you spent that much

its a easy DIY, just get a different kind of lube.. to regrease it.. (i forgot the name of it, its on a thread somewhere on here.. just search for it under squeaking sway bar, you should find it) if squeaking is the noise you are talking about.

I don't know if they will sell you just the rubber boot and lube, or if you have to buy the whole end link. I will have access to an All-Data system Monday, so if you’re still confused, I will look on there.

Hey man thanks, and I found this site www.overnightautoparts.com and i dont see anything called "end link". I probably wont have time to go to a dealership til late next week so if you can find that out I would greatly appreciate it. On this website I mentioned they have the following items:
Ball Joint
Control Arm
Strut Assembly
Strut Mount
Sway Bar Bushing
Sway Bar Link
Trailing Arm

Do you know which one it might be? they dont have ny pics so i dunno :roll:

but if i cant go to the dealership then I might be able to just order it online. Again, thanks a lot for ur help man.

Re-grease it. There are just 4 bolts, the whole job will take you only 30 minutes including jacking up the car.
