Sway bar end link replacement..

So where I live sucks.. I have to drive at least half an hour to get to an auto parts store. SO here I am looking at Oreillys, Advance, Autozone, and Napa in the town Im driving to tomorrow. The only place that has anything in stock it seems is Autozone and the choices are Valuecraft or Duralast OE Enhanced. Ive used Duralast parts in the past but never suspension parts.
My question is.. does my truck actually have end links that are ball joints like these websites suggest? Each time they also give me the old school Energy Suspension typical/universal links.
Should I even consider those or should I order a good brand of the swivel OE style?

So.. no replies. Ok well turns out I bought a replacement but didnt need it.. the nut was probably a good 6 turns loose! So an easy fix... now teh front end it dead quiet over bumps. However while under there I did discover the driver side fog connector is bad. Oh well.

No replies suck but thanks for the update. Helpful when others are searching and looking for results

I dont know what vehicle you have but i just did struts and end links on my wifes 2006 F150 2wd. the rubber donuts were completely gone and it would have been easy to fix if i could have just found them. but i got the whole end link assembly and yes it has a little greasable ball joint in fact you screw the zert fitting in and pump grease.

also some of these subforums are pretty quiet so not a lot of activity really.
