Stabilizer Links

I've begun to hear some clunking up front braking and steering. The car was in for an oil change today, I was told the front stabilizer links need replaced. I thought I read this is common for a third gen. I seem to recall that there are after market versions of the links. Can anyone direct me?

I had the same problem. Replaced stabilizer links-no help. It was the upper A- Arm bushings.

Good Luck, John

Yes I have this clunking sound too. Did you get stock replacement bushings? Mazda Comp has 40% stiffer-than-stock replacement bushings that cost too much IMO. I've already missed the "Unobtamium" bushings group buy...
