Default New Sway Bar links

So I was dropping my car off to get shipped to Guam and during the inspection we found out the sway bar links are destroyed on both sides. AutoZone does have the links but I worry about them breaking again. Does anyone know if the MikeR links are still being made? Needswings had them posted for $1000+. Is there another part I can use that won't break so easily?

Any help is appreciated. I have some time to kill since my car won't be on the island until Jan 17th.

RIP MikeR

The rear links? 300TD links are cheap, and should work. They are all metal. I use them in my W202.

I was just asking Rob about this yesterday, here's the answer:

Hello, as of right now there is nothing new in the works. He built them to order and drop shipped them so I do not have any samples here to reproduce, bummer for sure

Thanks I'll take a look at these. Since I'm in Guam I don't want to wait 6 weeks for parts that will break the moment the car ends up going sideways. They mix the asphalt here with sea shells so when it rains almost everyday the roads get really slick really quick. I really don't want my car giving my wife any trouble.

Were talking about the end links of the SWAY BAR, correct? Never heard of failures on these and I have done lots of autocrossing??? Woody

The previous owner of my car obviously took this car out drifting. The sway bar links are both broken and the emergency brake shoes have chunks eaten out of the sides of them. I also had to replace the drive shaft because the carrier bearing in the center went out.
