End links for Magneride Suspension

[Bullitt_Will]

Has anyone come to the conclusion on what are the options for aftermarket end links for Magneride mustangs. It’s seems like there are many posts of owners having issues with aftermarket options. Are the stock Ford ones the only reliable options if equipped with Magneride? I was going to pull the trigger on the end link kit and sway bars from Eibach.

It literally doesn't matter - any of the work but depending on the bar, there may be clearance issues against the strut. Stock are garbage, they bend with any bar stiffer than stock.

The best and lowest profile links I've used are Cortex Racing (I've used Steeda, BMR and Whiteline before that).

Hey @Bullitt_Will

Our endlinks are a solid upgrade to the OEM units. Depending on what sway bar you are using(like our Steeda 555 1015 Mustang 1-3/8" Adjustable Front Sway Bar (15-26) ) , you may not be able to use the softest setting due to the Mag sensor being in the same spot.

OP - If you want to use the softest setting (due to connector - not sensor being in that spot), but Cortex. They're low profile enough that clearance isn't a problem.

Steeda - no disrepect meant but they don't fit there with your own bar and "you may not be able to use the softest setting" is a really poor answer - especially on the car that doesn't need a whole lot of front bar.

Hey @kz,

Not sure what would answer this any better.

Our Steeda 555 1015 Mustang 1-3/8" Adjustable Front Sway Bar (15-26) has Four adjustment positions from soft to firm, and we add the special note below. Our sway bar should be run with adjustable.If still at factory ride height, you can use OEM.

Note: Front sway bar will fit vehicles equipped with MagneRide Suspension but the sway bar cannot be used at softest setting (furthest adjustment hole on the sway bar) due to contact with factory ride height sensor.

I can see where the Cortex may have more room vs Ours. (spherical vs greased)

Sergio - this wasn't a question. I am very intimately familiar with your end links not fitting between your own bar and the strut because I experienced it.

I am just saying it is a poor product design that doesn't allow to use the settings that on these car is probably the most appropriate.
I know that designing new product is an investment but slightly shorter bar (which I know for a fact would work) for cars that have been around for 8 years would be something you (company) should have probably consider.

2nd this. The end links don't fit on MR cars.

I spoke with our MFG Team. The difference is less a length and more width issue. Since there is interest, I am submitting your request. I'll let you know if I can get it on the R&D side.

I would honestly look at slightly shorter bar (which should be easier than flattening the end link) - your end link have some benefits - grease fittings and sealed bearing.
