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.

Excellent Product

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.

4 year durability review - disconnect trouble but otherwise great

4 years and 15k miles later, and these end links still hold up decently. The adjustments are still very smooth when I make minor adjustments to the height of the car However, the threads have gotten a bit rusty, and the ball joint was also a bit sticky. During the install of my new sway bars yesterday, I found that the ball joint rotated with the nut while trying to disconnect it. This caused some frustration as I had to find a durable pair of needle nose pliers, then grip the handle of those pliers with a vice grip, just to get enough force to hold the stud in place while ratcheting the nut off the end link.

If FM can implement some sort of locking nut system from the factory to prevent the ball joint from spinning while removing the nut, that'd be awesome. My plan for now is to instead add a pair of narrow nuts on the inner side of the ball joint to act as lock-nuts; end link > nut > nut > washer > sway bar > washer > nut

Thanks for the long-term follow-up review! Our end links do feature a 5mm Allen slot in the end of the ball joint thread - these are great for holding the ball joint stud while removing the nylon locking nuts. However, since these end links are under the car and often subjected to lots of dirt and grime, it's also a good idea to use a brass bristle brush to knock off the majority of the dirt and any surface rust that may have accumulated on the threads before attempting to remove the locking nut from the ball joint stud. If you run into any trouble, please contact our Customer Support team for help!

Should have done this sooner

After installing new suspension (Tecnas) on my '93 I finally replaced my original end links.
The links are very high quality and I wasn't prepared for the decrease in noise from the front and back of the car. Worth every penny!

Easy assembly

1990 Miata: these end links are super simple to assemble and replace the stock end links without extra parts needed. I have aftermarket sway bars and these end links worked perfect to enhance the sway bar’s ability.
