Cortex Sway Bar End Links - Reviews?

[WItoTX]

Mine have never bent and I inspect them along with everything else while prepping for track day.

I don't understand what causes them to bend for some and not others. I imagine a situation where one wheel hits a pothole hard.

I am not sure, I do know the stock ones are really thin. They probably work great for on road use and smooth tracks, but they just look prone to deflection compared to a Cortex, Whiteline, or Steeda.

Steedas didn't fit on mine with the FP bar. It's a pretty well known issue. The aftermarket bars seem to run wider too.

Oh, agreed. Just don't really understand why mine fit just fine. Maybe I have mine installed wrong, LOL.

I have the Cortex front links with FP Magneride Suspension kit and GT350 Camber plates. With Magneride, increased camber, and the FP bar I did get MOOG links to barely fit after relocating the wires on the struts. The Cortex however fit great with a much easier install. Don't over torque the Cortex nuts. 45 ft lbs only, not 85. Steeda, BMR, and the like would not fit if installed as designed.

I have them on my racecar since 7 years. Still running strong. Cortex is high quality stuff. Design around racecars and their heavy needs.
I also use their better bushing (such as the monoball)
You can see them here and also their penske Coilovers

You who have experienced bent end links, do you find that both links are bent, or just one? I am curious because end links should only experience stress during heavy cornering, at which time one link is being compressed, while the other is being stretched. If something extreme happens in a corner, the links should fail in opposite ways. If both links bend the same way, I think something else is at play other than weak links (no pun intended).

Yup, all of mine have been one. In fact, all of mine have been the left one.
