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.
These end links are custom-made for us and feature a strong and durable ball joint at each end. No worries about wear over time! Due to the very short length of this unit, you will have to disconnect it in order to adjust the length. The length can be adjusted from 60mm to 68mm (2.4" to 2.7").
Sold in pairs, which will cover one sway bar. Two pairs are needed for a complete car - but you'll want our ND front part for the front. Works great with stock sway bars as well as any sway bar that can use the stock end links. Fits the rear of the ND. Will physically fit on the rear of the NC but will be too short for correct sway bar orientation (see NC rear end link writeup for more information).
Note: These end links will interfere with the factory ride height sensor. We do offer an adjustable sensor arm (Levelizer, below) that is compatible.

The only issue I see is it would be easy to strip the lock nut don’t over tighten it. You could always go to the local hardware store and get a new one so not really a big deal to me.
Thanks for your purchase, David!
We assume you're talking about the thin locking nut for the center of the end link - those only need to be snug to prevent the center portion of the end link from rotating and coming loose when installed on the car. Luckily, the center portions of the end links only see compression and tension forces, so lightly snugging that thin locking nut is all that's required to ensure nothing comes loose. But, if you (or anyone else) runs into trouble here, feel free to contact us directly for help!
Went to torque the factory rear end links and they snapped. FM end links are short enough for the back of the Miata & are super durable. If you’re worried about “gram theory” then these aren’t for you. That being said these are the best aftermarket end links I’ve found for the rear of the Miata.
well built
Same story as the front Links. Great product, Super Fast Shipping, Great Price.
I thought I'd give them a try for the rear. BUT- just like the front reviews - these end links FAIL. The thread strips easily on the length adjustment. I adjusted the length and when I went to tighten the lock nut - it just kept spinning! Do yourself a favor and just buy a different end link.
