endlinks

[falsedawn]

For the love of God, does nobody apart from AWR sell rear endlinks for the P5?

Hopefully, I'll be replacing my rear sway bar soon, and am anticipating having to replace the stock endlinks.

I've searched for hours and can find nowhere selling these - I just want a decent set that will work without clunking and is stronger than the stock jobs.

I'm even considering the option of cobbling something together with threaded bar and heim joints, but don't really want the hassle.

LOL!! I hate endlinks I had to replace the rear ones on mine when I changed my springs. The suckers had to be heated to break free. Turns out they have plastic innards.(oops). Anyways I got my endlinks straight from the dealler for $30. Go right to the counter and ask for them. they SHOULD have those in stock. Other than the stockies I dunno. Maybe they can order ones for the mazdaspeed if they are different

Is your car lowered or going to be? Mine is lowered 1.3 all around & have progress rear sway bar & still using the stock ones with stock struts. Have been this way for better part of a year with sway added few months ago. No problems with fit or action. Car is daily driver not track car though. If your planning on more than street then I would suggest tokicos & awr endlinks & whatever sway bar & even the awr trailing arms. I don't live where roads are salted & car lives in garage on both ends of my normal travels so my endlinks were easy to deal with.

I should read the posts a little better. Oops.

I don't know of any other ones. Why do you not want the AWR ones?

It's not that I don't want them as much as I'd just like to have a choice.
Car won't be lowererd - daily driver.
So basically, my choices are AWR or stock. Hmmm, that sucks really.

You can always make your own out of some Heim joints!

Not many companies make endlinks specifically for our cars, but there are tons of parts available to make your own. They are common parts used in racing.

Here is where you can start:

It's the second set of AWR endlinks I use and I am about ready to make my own. Just waiting for winter to leave.
