Billet Rear End Links

[Micaspeed!]

Checking interest on these. The rear sway bar end links are cnc machined, gold anodized, tapered bar, of 6061 T6. The spacers are also cnc 606 1T6. Rod ends are teflon lined, high grade hardware. These are professionally designed and manufactured. Similar to the Camber Arms listed on www.delsingmotorsport.com.
Presently working on some billet rear bar bushing clamps, which will utilize a thin wall poly bushing instead of the stock thick wall one which is subject to deformation
Let me know what you guys think.

Godspeed!

Looks great. Nice and thick compared to stock. I'm interested depending on price.

Looks almost exactly like AWR endlinks.
I can buy those for $90 CAD.

Well damn it I do have the CLUNK NOW!
So will this help? I've heard rumour that it has something to do with the endlnks.

He he, welcome to the club now Yashooa.

The thin-ass stock end-links are what many think is at least part of the problem with the clunk, but I'm not sure if anybody has tried different end-links. I would assume so and they must not have worked or this board would know about it. I don't know (dunno) but if Mazda doesn't fix it SOON I'm going to try fixing it on my own and will probably start with end-links like this.

Heim joints are inherently noisy and worsen with wear. I've got the AWR end links and they are much noisier than stock. I seriously doubt heim joints will solve the clunk.

Unless you're autocrossing and trying to preload one side, I don't understand what functional advantage they have over stock? They do look better, though.

Sorry, should have explained. This in itself will not fix the klunk. Check out the other post"Klunk explained". These billet end links will not bend or flex as the stock ones do. They provide a direct solid connection from the bar to the strut. These are purpose designed for the Protege, not just cut to length hex bar stock, very beefy.

Godspeed!

The noise you are speaking of is a result of using bronze race type heim joints, which are loose when you buy them, and get worse when used on the road. High quality Teflon or kevlar lined units (cost more) do not increase noise level and have high wear qualities.

Godspeed!

how much?

nice, so I assume these and your brackets talked about in the klunk explained thread would come as a set and these are going to be the "High quality Teflon or kevlar lined units (cost more) do not increase noise level and have high wear qualities."?
