I decided to do this because I perceived that there was a mild clunking from the front end in certain conditions. I bought OEM links from the dealer. Something like $110 for the pair.
The TL;DR is I don't think anything was wrong with the links I removed and I'm not sure the new ones changed anything so I'll keep the old ones. I guess I didn't take any pics. Easy job. Pull front wheel, the links are right there. Hold back the stud with a torx bit and the nut is 18mm. 72 lb-ft. About as easy as it gets. 100,3xx miles I think.
