Rear Sway Bar Links? - 96 GS- Canadian Source?

Mazderati · Post by **Mazderati** » May 16th, 2005, 5:20 pm

I have broken my rear swaybar links. Does anyone know a Canadian source for these besides Mazda?
Are there any interchangable ones out there. ie, 626,MX6, Protege, Ford options.

Thanks in advance!

Arm-Can does not have the rear sway links for MX3 after all. Any other sources?

Same story, busted endlink.

Arm-can only lists mx6 links, are they interchangeable?

Do mx6/pgt endlinks work on an mx3?

I asked armcan, they said yes, but... I would like a second opinion first.

I got front links from arm_can, and a month later asked him about rear links. He said he had them, but when I replied a couple weeks later to set up an auction for them, he never got back to me. I didn't see them listed on his ebay store, I just emailed him directly. I don't know why he never got back to me, but I really need links for the rear bad! If anyone gets something that will work from him let me know via PM

I talked to the Arm-can guy and he says that the 626 ones are very close in size and that they will interchange with the MS-3 ones due to their flexibility. I'm naturally a bit sceptical about this claim.

Any feedback from anyone?

There had GOT to be an aftermarket source for these. It will be a cold day at Lucifers place the day I pay $170 for a pair of these from Mazda.

I had him make a set for me, they are stainless ends. Mine are on the way and i know he made 4 more sets. $100us for all 4 corners.

Dont bother with those stupid little OEM ones, wait till you see these.

I think you may have missed the boat now, he only made 4. If your still in need i wouldn't wait.

spinkx, did you recieve any links yet? I shipped out 2 last week and the other 2 saturday. If you don't recieve them soon let me know. Also do you think you could email me the lengths of the stock links once you have them off? that way I can pre-adjust them for everyone else.

I'm going to pm a mod here about running a larger bulk buy for these since there seems to be a good bit of interest for them.

wtf, all these people are raping you for these things!

that guy on mx6.com paid about $40 for all 4, sells em for 100?

You can get these things from an industrial supply store! Tahts how I made my own and they work fine!

actually it costs me $61-64 dollars to make and ship 4 links. I charge between and $91-94 depending on where I'm shipping too. Stainless steel isn't cheap. Because I buy in bulk I can a discount on parts, and make a small profit. If you were to use the same suppliers I use(I shopped around for literally days to find the best prices) it would cost you at least $95 to make a set of links. I've said it before, but I'll say it again. In all honesty I could make 4 links for about $20 then turn around and sell them for $80 and believe me people would buy them, but I'm not in this for the money. (all ~200 or so I've made) Those $20 links would squeak, rust, and disintigrate in a year, my links won't.

Followed your thread on the MX6.com BB. FWIW, Item design and materials seem well thought out and well received there. If you don't get the go ahead here, I'll watch the MX6 BB for a future offering...
