They HAVE to be able to rotate a bit.

Bill is right, but if they are very easy to twist, they need to be replaced.

Mileage really isn't an indicator of needing change, it's road surface conditions that impact the most.

No, if they're real loose, change 'em.
The only other suggestion, and you may have covered it (I didn't go back and look), while you have things apart, change the sway bar bushings. Easy change.

I agree with this- some on here change their front and rear endlinks at 20-50K....
I changed my front endlinks- at about 132,000.
the rears are still factory and no noise...
But I do live in Southern California...
the other guys live in pothole hell.

I'm in "pothole hell, ice ruts and frost heaves in winter, potholes in spring, paving repair bumps in summer.
I have 120,000 (give or that),; and I have changed the front twice and need new ones now, rears have been changed once and are ok.

Mileage is not the problem, it is road surface :yes:
