For the front - end links with captivated boots and grease fittings. For the rear - if you can find some, the articulated ones like the factory ones.
The front end links changed in 1993; I'll use those as an example, but if you have a 89-92 and haven't changed to 93-97 spindles, you'll have to use them JUST as an example.
Front I'd consider ProForged 11310071 ... check them out on RockAuto.
Rear? ProForged 11310150 . Both are listed as "Heavy Duty".
GOOD news - if you buy cheap crap, at least they won't have front end parts fall off when they fail.
Motorcraft or AC Delco Professional grade. Be careful because AC Delco now has the “advantage” line too, which is cheap made in China ****. Also for sway bar links you definitely don’t want grease fittings. The greasable ones are not sealed as well as the non-greasable ones, and the fittings are difficult to get to, so the result is that they don’t get greased and they wear out faster.
I went with the AC Delco professional, they've been holding up well. There is an opening in the boot to release excess grease, which I thought was a defect at first. I ran MOOG before, those are way messy as far as grease and did not hold up well.
I would like to know if the AC Delco or the Pro Forged ones split.
