where to buy endlinks

anyone know a cheap place to get new end-links? mine are pretty much siezed after 8 years and 90k

Rear swaybar end links? Good luck, when we lowered my '94 mine we're seized, couldn't remove them without cutting them, ended up costing me $262 with tax for 2 of them (that in Canadian dollars), the joys of doing things over the weekend and it was the only parts place open, but i checked other places afterwards, they we're all expensive...

just bought some. $80 after i bargained it down. good investment to go with my hotchkis sways, since i'll be changing the settings on those all the time once autox season starts.

whiteline has endlinks for our cars i believe. it'll take a little time like maybe 1 month for them to get here

heh i gotta get my car together by this saturday and aligned by sunday without question. and i havent even started on the swaybars. lol

you'd be lucky if a hotchkis bar dont snap in half after 1 autox

why would it snap in half? I dunno about the rear but the hard ware with the front is pretty beefy. I would think the stock stuff would be more likely to snap.

are hotchkis really that bad? i've only heard of the earlier versions snapping and not fitting correctly. from what i've heard they've already fixed that problem. plus my h&r's are stiff as f*ck compared to stock springs so i dont think that the bars would be under that much stress with the reduced body lean from the springs.

I dunno about the "current" production but I have worked on at least 4 cars where a hotchkis sway bar either snapped in half or cracked. They were all warranty replaced by hotchkis but IMO sway bars are too much of a bitch to install to have to be replaced every couple of months. I mean load stress shouldn't even have to be an issue because even the stock bar goes through just as much during sprited driving. BTW every one of those aforemention cars have aftermarket strut/springs as well.. one of which a 03 S had tein SS and only street driven.

best of luck with your setup but from my personal experience I have warned all my friends to stay away from hotchkis products.
