"custom" endlinks?

Post by supertrick_05 » Sat Oct 04, 2008 11:05 pm

I've purchased a Hotckis rear sway bar with no endlinks...bad idea! Now I need to get a set of end links and have the modified to fit the sway. I'm wondering if I could purchase ANY set of endlinks, like Energy Suspension units and whatnot, and have them modified? I have a shop right next to my work that specializes in racing Vipers and SRT-4's and a sales rep said they could fab something up for me, no problems. Thing is, I don't know where to start. I need to buy endlinks, but not sure which ones to get to be modified. So if someone can give me some good info, please let me know. Thanks!

I think something like this should work but reversed for the Hotchkis bar and standard strut mount.

Stock end link cut down to size with a different through bolt and a heim joint threaded on the end.

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I'd need. So you wouldn't go with Energy Suspension endlinks?

I don't know whats different with the SXT's and the SRT's but I got a set of Prothane Urethane Endlinks and they bolted up just fine. I know Eibach makes a set too.
