    quick bump to add on

    after talking with AlanS about his sway's (RD)
    he mentioned that the rear links wear out
    in 15,000 miles...

    and for a $100 part, when the entire setup cost
    me $400 i think that is stupid...

    UUC supposedly has a fix for this, anyone try it
    yet?>

    My Dinan bars use the stock rear links (which would be nearly impossible to wear out by design) - with a bolt through the bottom where the stock bar ends stuck through.

    I don't see the point of using such a complex heim-joint link to connect the rear sway bar. By eliminating the small amount of rubber in the stock joint you gain a tiny bit of stiffness, sure - but..

    Heim joints are for track cars. They're strong and they're precise, but they're open to the elements and aren't long lived if they aren't taken care of.

    Is there not a way to bolt to the original end links with the RD bar?

    Does any one know what type of links front and rear are used on the Whiteline, Susp. Techniques, Eibach or G-power sway bar kits - rubber dogbone, Heim joint, etc.? Do all of them even come with links? Are all of these bars adjustable? Just curious as this would obviously play a role in the buying decision? Thanks.
