options for End links?

[ti3]

Got an H&R rear swaybar, and I am looking to replace the endlinks from stock... any good options? or would my best bet be replacing with new stock ones?

Anyone know of any good end links? or which ones to avoid?

You can get them from these guys:

or
you may be able to get some from Ireland Engineering if you call them and tell them what you're doing.

Edit: It occurred to me last night after I posted this that you can probably only use these if the bar you're using has holes in it or some other arrangement besides the stock set up. Did the H&R bar not come with hardware?

The swaybar I got was new, but from another member. I called H&R(which is the 19 mm bar that I got) and it doesn't come with it anyway, apparently just supposed to use the stokc ones. So I ended up ordering new stock endlinks and brackets to replace them. Should work out okay, I'll let you know if I have any problems. There does seem to be some issue with the Bushing brackets that I will be finding a bottom line answer to soon (hopefully today)

I'm not aware of any rear sway bar end links that are adjustable and designed for our cars. Best bet on a street car is to use the stock end links. Spherical joints typically don't have any type of protective covering on them, and they can wear out very quickly with regular street driving if you don't take good care to clean and lubricate them.

Turner sells 'em: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-53...inks-pair.aspx


Edit: These end links are not for stock bars- aftermarket only.

If you use decent ones with teflon lining they last pretty well. I ran them all around on my protege and they lasted at least 50K before getting noticeably noisy/loose. I've also seen covers for them around the net also.

I've seen em for our cars on a few sites, turner was one of them. Nothing for stock bars though

WAHOO... the brackets are the right ones, that fit the H&R bushings. I ended up going with stock links, but the better of the two that were offered to me. now I gotta figure out if I need to drill out the rubber a little to fit the thicker bolt that came with the kit... hmmm... well... hopefully I'll get that installed soon, and then get the other stuff done...(so many things to do...)
