Sway Bar Links and Bushings

[hstrickrodt]

Hi All,

I have a rattle which leads me to believe it's either sway bar links or bushings.

Chevy dealer told me that in order to do sway bar bushings the subframe has to be dropped and quoted me $1100.

Is this true? Can't find anything online

thanks

Can't confirm but it could well be. However, it's doubtful the bushings are the source of a rattling. The links are easy to check for play. Could also just be your front struts are shot. Wife's 2013 EQ had a noise from the front when going over anything two years ago. Only had 55k or so, so I didn't think the struts could be shot already. Replaced them after not coming up with any other good sources for the noise and that solved it.
