FS: Deeza and Mevotech Sway Bar Endlinks for Protege

[WhiteKnight]

Plain and Simple, my dumbass ordered the wrong parts for the sway bar endlinks. My loss is your gain. These will not fit a protege5, but should fit the proteges without the sport suspension. They're brand new, never installed. The two were taken out of the plastic for picture purposes.

I know I'm not as active here but you can check my feedback on ebay,username knightsintegra
You can also check my feedback on www.G2IC.com, username also knightsintegra

Fronts are Mevotech K80258
Rears are Deeza VL-L605
I think i paid around $83 shipped for these so my loss is your gain
I'm asking $60 OBO shipped for all four in the USA
Or $30 OBO per pair shipped in the USA

If you have any questions, let me know
Thanks for looking

[WhiteKnight]

No worries, if they're out there cheaper i'd be willing to lower the price

do you know the proper part numbers for MSP replacement endlinks?

 

[blackmica_es]

interested, but what do you mean when you say that it will only fit "proteges without the sport suspension"? does that disqualify my 2000 ES with an eibach pro kit and tokico hp's?

The rears will work for the 99-00 the Fronts will not, unless you have struts from the 01-03 sedans, the difference is the location of the endlink tab on the strut, the 01-03 is higher up therefore have much longer front endlinks.

I don't know that for sure, If i were to guess I'd say these wouldn't fit a MSP

I don't know 100%, but a quick check would be to measure your endlinks on the car. It'll help you to avoid pulling a "me" and getting the wrong ones.

What he said

If this helps people Stud to Stud and overall lengths on these are:
Front: Stud to stud is harder to measure since they're on opposite sides it's ~11.5", Overall length is 12 7/16"
Rear: Stud to Stud 7.5" or ~187mm, overall Length is 8.6" or 220mm

any questions about interchangeability, measure the distance from center to center on the links, then check this thread:
http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123684051

then you will know what they will fit.

 

[mechead11]

pretty sure I am runnine '01 struts.. and still have '99 endlinks. I was worried about clearance and fitment when the car was off the ground... but I havent run into any issues since I did it like that. or at least noticed anything.

 

[R-X-R]

so i am hoping it should fit for a 03 pro es. right?

I can't say either way, best bet is to measure what's on your car. Or take your vin to a dealer, they'll be able to tell you if your vehicle has the sport suspension or not. (thats what I eventually did cause i'm a retard)

and the sport suspension endlinks are NOTICEABLY shorter, so if your measurments are anywhere in the ballpark of what i measured(1/8th~1/4 inch), they should fit

I just installed tein super street coilovers on my 99 protege and I had to get longer front endlinks. I was wondering if I upgrade my rear swaybar to a progress or racing beat will I need different length endlinks for the rear?

Progress no, Racing Beat yes.

Are these still available, I will take them if so. They fit my car =) And my end links had to be destroyed to remove my struts =(

I for one won't ever buy Mevotech parts again - pieces of crap. I bought their control arm and the dust boot dried out and cracked within 6 months. Mevotech refused to warrant it saying that it was normal wear and tear? I'm sorry, but nowhere is it normal for a control arm dust boot to wear out in under 5 years.

Yes, they're still available. I had to cut the ever-living crap out of my endlinks to get them off, so i know what you went through, lol. Excellent, my paypal is the_white_knight02@hotmail.com

I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with them. This part number cross references with at least three different manufacturer's, which i thought was funny. Moog, autozone(duralast) and mevotech all used the same part number.

 

[TheMazda]

Money sent. Thanks.

 

[WhiteKnight]

I'll have them in the mail first thing monday morning, I'll e-mail you the tracking number after i get them sent out.
Thank you

I too, am quite unsatisfied with these mevotech parts because I had also cracked control arms within 6 or 7 months. Very disappointing.
