Best sway bar end links?

[stungjoe]

I have read so many threads and searched numerous times to find this answer; what brand end links give the most clearance and most strength for aftermarket sway bars?

I have the Steeda front and rear sway bars on order but didn't order the end links yet. I had read a thread where the grease zerks tend to have a clearance issue on the Steeda end links on a Magneride car. Did anybody have clearance issues?

One a side note: when ordering the Steeda kits it's $20 cheaper to order the sway bar kit (555-1017) and end link kits (555-1042) separately (compared to 555-1014 complete kit)....seemed kinda odd.

The nipple on the Steeda bits is their drawback, but they are still the best quality I used. The encased grease joint kept mine quiet and the steering smooth; the open bearing bits I tried gave a few mm more clearance, but corroded quickly and became worthless.

In any event, be sure to use medium locktite on the securing nuts. Otherwise, knock city.

Fyi, I had both my factory end links bend with the Steeda bars.
Replace them with anything!

Moog steel endlinks have always been my go-to. With a 35mm Steeda swaybar and -4 deg camber they don't interfere with my Koni shocks.

Thank you! I will give these a try. The adjustability feature is gone but so are the possible negatives associated with this feature. $21/each at RockAuto!

Have your sway bars shipped yet? I ordered some a week ago and haven’t received shipping confirmation yet. Their site said they were in stock too. I sent 2 emails last week but both have been ignored. I will be canceling and ordering some from BMR. They have as good or better products and better customer service.
My car isn’t magnaride so I can’t offer much help, but in the Steeda install video I watched the car did have magnaride and you just need to move a line out of the way. Didn’t seem to be a big deal.

I've always recieved a response from steeda. Maybe @tj@steeda will get you a response.

They haven't shipped yet. But I just ordered them on Friday. I went thru Beefcake Racing because they were cheaper to start with and also had a 10% off sale going on.

I've always had very good luck with calling Steeda and speaking directly to someone. I know I had one coil spring in my set that was mis-boxed about a year ago. They rectified the situation and I had my spring Fed-Ex next day Saturday delivered. Shipping alone probably ate up their profit but they made a bad situation good as promptly as possible.

I plan on calling tomorrow.
And BCR has always had good customer service. Should have ordered from them.

Hello, who were you sending the emails to - specifically the address? I wouldn't say they are being "ignored" I see every email that comes through & usually send them to the corresponding sales professional or will follow up on their behalf.

Please send me a p.m. with your order number.

I can assure you, our customer service is top-notch & many customers have said that across the forum

You were one of the people I emailed. [email protected]?

Order was placed on the 5th. Site said 5 in stock. My card has been charged. No shipping confirmation as of yet. I sent emails on 7th and 8th. If item was not in stock then your site should have been updated and I should have been notified.
If it has not been shipped then cancel the order.

Spam or junk folder?

 

[tj@steeda]

I have nothing from the 7th or 8th - also checked my spam folder, trash and I apologize - I am just not seeing it.

Can you please forward the two emails and let me know when you send so them.

If you want them canceled - then I'll need you to send the email again.

Also - it can take up to 3 business days to process the order - our site is accurate up to 24 hours.

I'll look in to all that transpired.


Thank you.
