Eibach Front Adjustable Anti-Roll End Link - DOES NOT FIT

[ammoman]

When doing my suspension overhaul, I wanted adjustable sway bar end links to dial everything in perfectly. There are a few threads discussing them, but I didn't see any pros or cons of the Eibach ones. Since a lot of members use their products, when I found a set of 4 with good pricing and fast shipping I ordered them.

BIG mistake! Since I had the suspension torn down when I ordered them, I didn't even think to consider clearance issues. The design they use simply does NOT fit! The through bolt touches the front strut and would sheer off the lower MagneRide wire if allowed to move. I ended up returning them and getting a set of Cortex adjustable end links, which fit fine. (I even put seals-it rubber boots on them to help keep the road grime to a minimum and help them last longer, part # RERS2B6PK for 7/16" studded ends)

I have no idea how they could possibly claim these fit our Mustangs... But hopefully someone can learn from my experience and not make the same mistake!

Yeah, that won't work. Unless you are big-time lowered put the stock ones back on until you get a suitable replacement.
FYI- I tried the Steeda adjustable end links and they were too wide too.

Settled on Cortex front set, or something similar will work.

I'm on the Ford Performance track springs, so not too lowered. But I also ended up going with Cortex. Plenty of clearance!

(sorry for the blurry pic)

I took a better picture yesterday of the Cortex adjustable end link installed (with the rubber boot I put on it). Anyone looking for new end links, be sure they have the Cortex style head and NOT the huge monstrosity that Eibach sells:

Always best to call mfg support to see if they have any at all in the first place and to confirm fit. Eibach happens to have excellent tel support plus it's noteworthy that some of their component parts are designed to work in their kits.

Their website states these end links replace factory end links for the 2018-2023 Mustang S550. That statement is completely wrong and anyone looking to replace a bent factory end link will NOT be able to use them. If these only work with their proprietary sway bars then the product description should clearly state that.

I’m not dissing Eibach’s other products - I’ve never purchased or used any of them (other than these end links). But they clearly did not test these with factory spaced antiroll bars. Hopefully this thread helps others looking for adjustable end links find ones that actually fit.

Yeah I looked at their end links as well and the bulky joints and no boots ended that.

I would pull those boots off so you can tell whether or not they are bent. That last photo, the boot makes it look already bent, and if they are going to bend anywhere, it's right where that boot is. With that cover on it will be tough to visually inspect.

But anything is better than stock. Except the steedas. They are no good either on MR cars.

No way they could be bent - I've only driven about 50 gentle miles on them while monitoring all the new components.

If it was track-only car I would remove them. But since I drive it all year I want to keep them protected from the elements. With the install tool the boots are easy enough to move for inspections. I also installed similar boots on my Steeda bumpsteer kit - gotta keep MgCl₂ off the heim joints!
