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.

after about 5 years/50,000ish miles. i heard a noise when i hit certain bigger than normal bump. looked underneath the car and found that the end piece pulled the threads out of the body of the end link. so the end link is un-useable. they seemed very well built and heavy duty so this indecent was very weird.
Sorry to hear you experienced an issue with these! We tried reaching out directly to figure out what happened, but we haven't heard back from Iain about this. We're not sure the exact cause, but please note that a good rule of thumb is to have a minimum thread engagement of roughly 1.5 times the diameter of the threads (for an M10 fastener, about 15mm of thread engagement). Less thread engagement may not be enough to prevent the threads from being ripped out during normal suspension operation.
Awesome quality easy to adjust.
High quality
Arrived with the threads damaged and needing to be chased from the packaging.
I reached out to fm about it to suggest updating their packaging but haven't heard a comment.
Part is functional.
Additionally the boring wasnt centered in the threads. Layed flat the links wouldthrow out a few degrees when the center collar was turned. I understand I'm not paying for aerospace grade stuff but
Really like this, you can feel how much mechanical downforce this provides, only wish they'd include a bolt for the other end, would be a good idea to replace that when you're swapping this out.
