Thank you very much!
It depends. Just check the dust cover of the sway bar links, and shake it to see if any excessive play. Replace it if the dust cover is broken or any excessive play found. For the rubber mountings, you may replace it every 100K Kms (60K miles). When replacing the rubber mountings, make sure the screws are tighened to specific torque, no looser or tighter, otherwise your control will get worse.
