Got my prototype end links done, installed the right side only to see how/if I notice any difference or problems, I will bring them to the KC celica meet next Sat...



Bad news is I haven't found a reasonable supplier, still going to be around $150 /pair. (but that is better than the 1st supplier, they wanted approx $75 PER END = 600/car? )


Had them on a year, still tight,,, still too expensive,,,

Yah, the metric makes things tricky but what I would do is just go SAE with them and have everybody drill the holes a little bigger in the swaybar. Waaaay cheaper and more convenient. If you don't wanna do that you can get some smaller SAE ones and have aluminum adapters turned for them. Give ground control a call, they very likely already have what you're making for cheaper than you can make them. Ask for Jay (hes pretty busy tho). Even if they don't have the exact end links you want they will likely have whatever rod ends you need.

Rod ends rock but even the high dollar ones wear out fairly quickly. We replace every rod end on the racecars at least once every season. Some of the ones in more severe service get it twice a season. Thats on a car that sees very little weather and very few miles. If you can feel any play in them at all, they're junk. They should be pretty hard to move around without anything through them for leverage.
