Sway Bar end links...

[Kelevra]

I bought these via ebay, they look pretty good for sway bar end links, Zerks included.
Figured for lower-priority parts to go aftermarket, as many here have done.

What have you decided on? PS: My susp is stock, not-lifted.

It looks pretty sturdy! The front links are wider than the stock. My 97 still have OEM links and are solid like new except the rubber bushings. Probably I'll replace the rubber bushings with OEM.

Those arms do look tough Lol
Wonder how they will hold up

I have a gently used set of OEM rubber end link bushings if you're interested. I replaced them with poly when I did the sway bar bushings (the EL bushings came in the kit)

I used some $18 end links from NAPA for the time being ( budget constraints) but I'm curious to see how well these hold out for you.

Those look beefy as hell, where did you hear about this company?

Do they fit OK, installed yet?

those do look beefy.....except....on the lower picture , to the left side, that looks like a crack in the weld where the "shaft" attaches to the "knuckle"

I bought the Moog K90681 links, though I have not put them in yet. They also look beefy, though I'm annoyed that they appear to be unpainted, so I need to do that still. A small thing, but it would have been nice to get links already prepainted with durable paint, one less thing to deal with. Oh well.

I believe you're looking at a painted weld on a $37 set of sway bar endlinks.

Nah, no cracks, just bad lighting and some reflections from the grease.

I looked them all over with a jewelers loop.

They're sway bar end links, nothing structural, as I go OEM for all the important items i.e. UBJ/LBJ etc.

I just got 'em. I'll post pix after I install 'em.

They look sturdy enough for sway bar end links, haha. I guess we'll just have to see.:brushteeth:

They fit ok? Considering the purchase.

Apologies, it's been cold here in NY, so I put off R & R'ing my suspension mods, (Bilsteins, springs, endlinks & bushings), until it warms a bit.

Understandable. I'll take the risk on the buy -- If they don't fit, seller better return my ish

What are y’all using for end links with a lift? I need to replace mine since the old ones are frozen on the old LCAs and not worth the fight to salvage.

I’ve been researching the same. I’m 80% sure the 2nd gen sway bar links are longer than 3rd gen and are recommended to run on ours with a lift.

Can anyone with hands on experience chime in?

I'm using [MENTION=98153]MStudt[/MENTION] quick disco's on the front & [MENTION=18304]pearlj10[/MENTION] on the back, you can't get more solid than these. If you're lifted you'll snap OEM & definitely cheap aftemarket stuff.

Those are the ones I'm running as well. on the front only. Rear sway Bar is not installed.

I had ones like that , they are plenty sturdy but the “rubber” material of the boots is garbage and they start cracking / leaking in no time . Switched to the mtstudt ones and am very happy .
