What moves the price
- Links or bushings — links are the usual culprit; bushings add parts and time.
- Seized hardware — rusted link bolts often get cut, adding time.
Quotes near the low end usually mean a pair of end links, easy access. Quotes near the high end usually mean links plus bushings, seized hardware cut off, rear links behind the exhaust.
