    What have you done to your MP3 today???

    Finished the front endlinks. Moved my nice Kenwood head unit from my truck into the MP3 and fixed a rear speakers that the previous owner screwed up. Anyone know of a decent one sub box? I have 2 12inch subs but I only want to use one so I don't throw away the whole trunk space.

    What have you done to your MP3 today???

    If it is on an MP3 then no there are little plates welded where the brakets mount. I would just go ahead and get the AXR brakets or make your own version.

    How to make Custom Sway Bar End links

    The orings aren't there as spacers. they are to help seal the heim joint and to act as a control for movement of the endlink.
