About to Purchase, high mileage, IMS maybe replaced?

Got the car back from inspection yesterday.

LCAs are nearing replacement status.
Sway bar links are nearing replacement status.
Brake pads are at the end of service life.
Oil is free and clear, no metallic bits, just needs a change.

I have an oil change kit with 10 quarts of Total in my cart at Pelican Parts, along with 6 spark plugs and a new belt.

Quick question, sway bar end links, is that the same at "drop links?"
I come from truck suspensions, and I think some of the terminology is different, but same parts.

Thanks for the heads up fellas, good lookin.

Your in the right direction.Get the front end done first. All of the squeeky will be gone. Not that big of a hit on the wallet.Yes if you have a hotrod background like me these cats have a different name for some parts. But we get it.

Yes, sway bar end links are the same as drop links. They are very easy to replace, BTW.
