ENDLINK INFORMATIVE - QUICK HOW-TO ENDLINKS, ALSO MEVOTECH/MOOG ENDLINKS INSTALLED Options

[BonzaiCelica]

MEVOTECH

now as you can see people masked man was right. its the placement of the rod. as you can see by the angle isn't that harsh at all. I will be bending the tab a bit more outward to get it to fit nicely like an oem size/style end link. so each joint is at 90 degree. I just have to return these ($112 from orielly) and buy a set online (once i get a job)

MOOG

yea thats what i was saying about lining up one of the nuts and seeing where the rest of the endlink lines up from the top going down while comparing the other endlink behind it. still weird though your MOOG is still a bit crooked, mines totally straight. since you are using MOOG just like me im beginning to not also count out the strut bracket and sway bar because i think you and spyder both have KYBs and I don't. im going to take better pics tomorrow. my left side pics were crap, but my right side pics you can clearly see they are straight up, this time i'll get the pics in the day, those were taken at dinner.

just a wild idea but if you bend the kyb bracket to the right, im guessing it would line up straighter. maybe KYBs bracket is also too close?

oh yes i will bend bracket once i get a big enough vice grip and a set of my own moog end links in my hand...

from your blurry pics it seems as though the tab is nearly center on the shock housing. so i believe this kyb gr2 are off from the stock toyota shock. i need pics of oem shock.

I'll have to get some pictures next weekend since I have the miata ones with coilovers cause I don't think mine look like that at all

[BonzaiCelica]

as you can see even the original housing is basically the same!! so far as i can tell from trd blurry pic the megans have a better mounting point for thicker end links. As you can see from the megan group buy back in 2009 the pics below show that they use a moog end link. so there is no need guys for you to post your pics unless you have a tein coilovers installed, then a rear pic would be helpful

there are a few ways to remove the sway bar end links. You need to remove them (or at least the top bolt) to change your rear struts (for lowering and such).

another angle

As you can see they also fit bc coilovers. because they look exactly the same in design except the color and spring rates.

i knew there was something else wrong, you already had the pics of the moog still crooked and you and spyder both had kybs. Since you already have the megan group buy pic, its for sure, no need for my pics like you said.

Here are my RacingBeat Miata end links with stock struts, ignore how filthy everything is.

[trdproven]

i get it already, my pics were blurry, but its not like you cant see anything, you can still tell what you are looking for.

[BonzaiCelica]

thx to diego i got the pic muhaha see fits perfectly on megans



Just proof that the mevotech and moot end links won't fit the TANABE Coilovers either

Hello I read on twos r us that twos r us end links do not work withmegan racing coilovers for an sw20 now I'm not sure if that's the same case with celicas reason I ask is cuz my Celica has Megan racing coilovers and I want to invest in twos r us end links now does anyone here know if they ate compatable? Twos r us end links with Megan racing coilovers

I already have sw20 stainless end links for my sw20

[malecrod]

Just wanna add. I tried the mevotech end links front and rear but ended replacing them, not because they were bad but it did not offer what I wanted. So I went with the gt4 ones on page one. They can be found under an ebay seller out of Poland named': 'gt4goodies'. I hesistated at first because of the look of the design (especially the rear) and the expense. So I bought and tried the front first and was impressed. I ended buying the rear and was equally impressed. I have used them for just over 3months now, and I'm glad to say the are still as good as when first installed.
It actually made the suspension feel tight together. The cost (about $200) for front and back is a bit much. And remind you, the seller is based in Poland so it takes about 2-3weeks to get them here in the states.
Something to consider for those looking for a performance geared end links. I'm in no way saying they are the best but I wanted put it out there as an option for some 6gc members.
Mine are on TRD springs, OEM struts and whitelines sway bars for your information.

you cannot compare solid end links to ball joint style end links. totally two different end links. thats not the correct term for the mevotech, moog and oem style but yea.

see link below to understand what i mean by spherical ball joints.

Moog rear End links. oh yes i took one left hander turn and wow i'd say it handles like a Type r. but i still have yet to really test them out. I slightly bent the mounting tabs outward with a 10 inch vice grip in order to make sure the end link sat as parallel to the shock as possible

wow haven't been here for a bit so you did the mevo up front and moog in the rears just like I did. nice

[yellowchinaman]

Mine.


To me I don't get the logic of a moving pivoted bush and Z positioned fittings besides being more forgiving when fitting and compatibility in parts.
I've gone for a fixed 90deg links so that force is directly transferred to the ARB and not absorbed into bending of the link bushes.
I'll give some feedback and see how they go in a few weeks time.

That's a hefty part there. Interested in how you like it

Ill give some feedback in a few weeks and again a few months to see how they do.
its still a bit unknown how itll last being less forgiving with no ball joint.
I know for lower cars with more camber these wont fit as the struts and ARB needs to be near parallel to work. But in terms of performance I believe this should logically be best as it elements all soft play and flex transferring the force directly to the ARB.
