if you're talking about the links that connect the bar to the car's chassis, either "hangers" or some people might call them dog bones. though usually you can't easily replace them; they typically are pressed onto the bar by the manufacturer.

But if yours is a 2013, are you still under warranty? I've read about some people having squeaks from the sway bar bushings, but not rattling.

I had a rattle from my rear sway bar about 100 miles after adding it to my 05 V6. Having done it myself by hand, I figured it was normal that the bolts would loosen up under regular use, so I ramped it up and tightened all the nuts/bolts. Didn't rattle at all for the next 6-7 years.

Thanks alot to you guys who replied. Warranty is almost up so if tightening the bolts doesnt do the trick itll be goin to the dealer. Hope its easy fix. Thanks again for your help.
