    Seriously, I need to invest in an HD link set soon. I noticed my original set are in pretty rough shape... hopefully they can make it though another summer season because they're not very high on my purchase list.

    You can steal mine 'rado. Then once you install them I will just sreal your whole VX...saves me from having to reinstall them
    You can always just sleeve your oem links to strengthen them.

    I've thought about reinforcing the OEM links but the HD links are overall a better choice.

    Stronger, Adjustable, New Bushings =

    Are these bigger link for the sway bar? My mechanic said that i might need bigger link for my sway bar because of the lift that i put on my VX? Um i only put the 2.5 OME lift on it, he suggested that i get bigger links if available because I have been hearing like a popping noise sometime when i turn. any suggestions?

    Popping noise while turning could be a CV joint going out.
    No these have nothing to do with your sway bars. With a 2.5in lift you sgould be okay. Lots if VXs lifted that much with no sway bar issues. These links replace the links on the rear suspension (the black bars that run horizontal from your frame to the axle housing).

    Think about it. Whats moving when you turn? Front wheels? Then problem must be there. Lower links have to do with the rear and if they arent making the noise when going straight then they arent going to make these noise when turning. Sorry just my 2 cents.

    Just think of whats changing before to isolate your problems. Also I agree I would find a new mechanic.
