Rear End Links

[sknsfan5]

Does anyone have recommendations / links for where to buy replacement End Links for the Rear Sway Bar? One of mine has a bad bushing, and i need to replace it. I remember finding a thread not too long ago with a few options, but I can't seem to find it again. I called the dealership, and they quoted me $97 each, just for the parts.

I found this one... looks like it should work, but if anyone has input, i would appreciate it.

i think theres a few sources for factory links try rockauto.com but if your running a lift you make be interested in these from this guy he's a good stand up guy that will make these extended links for you 100 bucks a pair shipped pay through pay pal, and they come with better material bushings than OEM. as well as i hiem joint on the actual bar link check them out

If you wanted more flex with these end links would you just Max them out?

noooo! u extend them so that when at full crush they don't run into our lower control arm for me with a little over 3" of lift in the rear I only extended mine 1.25" over the stock length and recieved about 1.5" of travel

I just got the Deeza's for $12 each because I was in teh same situation and needed them. Right now I am only working with about an inch max rear lift with FJ/5100s so they work great. How can you beat $24 and an hour, it rides great, and I wont feel bad upgrading soon.

Can't you just replace the bushings?

I just got the $12 ones for now too. It would be great, except i can't get the old ones off. Any suggestions for the best tool to cut the bolt? since I can't get the nut to turn.

 

[aha2988]

soak the nut and bolt in PB blaster penetrating oil for a day or so then try to unbolt it should spin right off, otherwise an angle grinder with a cut off wheel and or a sanding grinding wheel (grinding wheel that has a bunch of sand paper flaps, eats metal like its candy!)

After the PB blaster, use a steel brush to get off any rust/crud.

Friday night it was late and I got the bolt about 3/4 of the way off when it refused to move any more. I ended up using a hacksaw. Scraped up my trailing arm a little bit, but I ended up getting it off. For the fronts I used the above technique and they came off without any issue.
