Worth replacing sway bar links? (archive)

I was under the front end for brake rotors & pads, and noticed that the ball joints on both sway bar links are shot. They're not expensive ( Bav Auto wants about $55 for a pair ), but I was just wondering what effect this would have on the ride & steering? ( I don't corner agressively very often ).

On a related subject, I ~do~ need the replace a thrust rod. Am I right in thinking this is a tough job with the car on ramps or jack stands instead of a full lift?
