    Adjustable sway bar end links for rear, aftermarket bar.

    I was in need of end links and did not want to drop $100+.

    I ended up making my own and did a few extra sets. I used my set, sold one and have another set left over!

    $75 shipped + PP or friend and fam

    If they sell and more are wanted, shoot me a PM!

    The top bolts are slightly larger and stronger than factory so the holes on the stock bracket need drilled to 3/8". Takes about 5 minute while changing them.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Okay the order is in. Heres some details for you guys if interested.

    Details -

    The bracket bolts are grade 5 zinc plated with a 60,000lb shear strength.
    The nuts for the bolts are grade 8 zinc plated 1/4 inch
    The top swivel end is Zinc plated rated at 3,950lbs radial max at 12 degrees - carbon fiber, self lubricating lining on the joint
    The threaded rod is 18-8 stainless steel
    The securing nuts are thin grade 8 zinc plated
    The lower shank end is zinc plated rated at 3,950lbs with a 50 degree swivel (states will need lubricated occasionally for best life) I use marine grease and have not had to reapply.
    The washers are grade 8 zinc plated steel
    The lock washers are grade 8 zinc plated steel

    I could have used cheaper materials and cut the cost way down, or used the premium SS stuff and charge what most shops do for mild steel, but this is a good compromise. They will def withstand corrosion, function well and wont break the bank. This info was added to the original post.

    Bump for a solid part from a good dude - these do just as well as the adjustable ones on the market, for a much better price.

    What's the range of adjustability on these? Like on the shortest setting from hole to hole and the longest setting from hole to hole?

    Also, can these be used with OEM swaybars? A lot of the endlinks out there are for aftermarket sway bars only.

    Hi, Ill grab some measurements for you ASAP. At the moment its for after market sway bars only as they have a hole vs the rod. Only think I can think to do is find a unit that has a hole with a similar diameter to the stock sway bar end...then have it slip fit with some sort of way to secure it.

    Just to let you guys know, I went to the garage and realized I sold all the sets I had. I am getting the supply for three more and will have it this week. Sorry about that! I though I had one set, but sold it locally awhile ago.
