I replaced these links with SPL links this weekend. After doing proper research, I think I was mostly at fault for the Energy Suspension links making noise. When I installed them, I set the length to match the stock links. Problem is, I am lowered about 3/4". Setting them at stock length put preload on the sway bar and probably caused my problems. I don't know if setting them to the correct length would correct that now, but I have new SPL links, so I replaced them. With no preload, the SPL links are about 1/2-5/8" longer than oem links due to the lower suspension. I set the link length with no pre-load on the sway bar with the weight of the car on the suspension. Replacing the links seems to have removed the squeaking, but I only backed in and out of the driveway 4-5 times to check it. Thought I'd update the post since my issues were improper install, not the product. They didn't break, just were noisy.
