    Hey Prius Peeps, I have an ‘08 with 200k on the clock and it has developed a weird rattle in the front end on the passenger side. Only happens when I take off from a complete stop. Any ideas? Sounds very plastic-y

    Thank you for that! I will look into that. Is it ok to drive for a little bit like that?

    You can find the pair by searching 2005 Prius sway bar links for a few after market suppliers for around $30 + ship
    and you can see the OEM part in a diagram
    Front Suspension for 2005 Toyota Prius | Bam Wholesale Parts
    if above link don't work cut and paste below ( fingers crossed)
    bamwholesaleparts.com/v-2005-toyota-prius--base--1-5l-l4-electric-gas/suspension--front-suspension
    it's #17 in the diagram
