Description
Why do you need adjustable end links? Well, they allow you to remove any preload from the sway bar. They're not necessarily required with every aftermarket bar, but they are the last step in corner-weighting the car to ensure it's perfectly neutral.
The weakest point in adjustable end links is usually the rod end (or "Heim joint") at the ends. Rod ends allow for a good range of motion and they look like awesome race car parts, but they wear over time. The speed at which they wear depends on the quality of the bearing and the environment in which you live. Some inexpensive ones have a lifespan of 6 months. There's a reason you'll never see rod ends on production cars.
This is a custom end link made for us. No fragile or wear-prone heim joints here, we specified a rubber bushing at the bottom like the factory did so that it plays well with the stock mounting point. At the sway bar end, we went to a ball joint for maximium freedom of movement and OE-levels of durability.
The end link can be adjusted turnbuckle style, without disconnecting either end. Minimum length is approximately 3.375" center-to-center. Maximum length is approximately 4.125" center-to-center.
Sold in pairs, which will cover one sway bar. Two pairs are needed for a complete car.

absolutely fantastic love em!!
Sturdy and quiet. Correct turnbuckle design for easy adjustment. Came with a small wrench that fits the turnbuckle, not the lock nut. NOTE: for the NA double shear design, you will need to buy new OR reuse old hardware on the bottom side and on the opposite end there is a convenient Allen key slot on the end of the ball joint. I didn't need it going together but its nice to have if the ball starts to rotate on you at any point in the life of the end links.
Great product
I installed on my 96 rear factory sway bar after replacing the rubber bushings and cleaning up the sway bar. I did this with the car on the ground as suggested. I thought this would be a good upgrade from the static end links. They are well built items. I had a hard time adjusting to the correct level without leaving only a couple of threads attached to the top and bottom of the end links. I was concerned that i might stip them, so i adjusted with 4 threads exposed on top and bottom. I did this with Drove the car about 200 miles , when i checked them - i had one of the rubber seals collapse with the heavy duty ball joint (on shaft) become slightly bent upwards . I don’t attribute this to the quality of these end links at all - just my install and my specific application. I put the stock static mazda oem links back on - again, i am using the stock sway bar and bushings. currently. saving these for sway bar upgrade in the future.
These complaints are really unusual, so we've reached out to Jason to figure out what's going on. We haven't seen pictures yet, but we'll provide an update if we're able to figure out what's going on.
Perfect If you’re running aftermarket sway bars. Easy installation, quality stuff. Great customer service!
