NEW solution to front Swaybar endlinks found!!!

Post by mazdamx3freak »

So my front sway bar droplinks were garbage from years of abuse and needed to be replaced but the problem was the only place to get them was the dealer for 63.00 each! So then I said theres got to be another way and found out the 89-98 240sx links bolt right up I have to say are alot stiffer then the crapy stock droplink design and best part is there only $20.00 each.

Huh, are they the correct lenght, though? If so, that's not a bad deal.

Also, rockauto.com has front links for our cars for $23 each. Rear ones are BECK/ARNLEY for $62 each.

that's a good cheap alternative to the Factory links. Especially if you want to keep the stock rubberized comfort.

That picture makes me want to drop my front subframe and clean it.

I am a little biased, obviously, but the big problem I have with stock replacement, and the reason I decided to build and sell the spherical bearing end links, is that they were nearly impossible to get off. Once they've had a few years to rust and corrode, they are very hard to get off. I also wanted something more rigid.

but for $20 this is a good alternative.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I'd have to agree there. When I replaced mine, they were pretty rough to get off. One of them had to be drilled, even. I guess it all depends on the rust level, though.

Both of mine in the front were torched by my techs in an effort to get them off.
