Ordered some hotchkis sway bars in order to try and "fix" that body wallow I do not like that disconcerted me about this car and destroys my confidence. Got the collars to keep them in place too.

Anywho, do I need to get new links for the new sway bars? They make some AC Delco cold forged ones for the front. Wouldn't really want stronger rear ones as I don't want anything breaking back there. Anybody have these links go bad on them? Stock ones ever go bad? They felt fine when I had them off replacing the shocks. I have 100k miles and the car will never get lowered.

 

Stock works fine for a while, just not at the full stiff settings. They will just make noise, never seen a stock one break

 

Stock ones, new stock ones if you want. Only aftermarket should be SPL.

 

OK, I'll grab some performance grade AC Delcos just to help offset the inevitable increase bump steer these bars are going to produce

 

The mounts for the links are weaker than the factory links, that is what will break. I have broken at least 5 or 6 mounts over my ownership.
Once I installed SPL links ,problem stopped.

I imagine voodoo would also do the job.

If you are not using the more stiff setting , you will probably be okay .

 

The brackets that hold the link to the body? Or the brackets that hold the bushing that holds the bar? I used to break the brackets that hold the bushing in the bimmer. Ended up welding some bent rebar onto it to prevent that from happening.

 

I have this exact sway bar kit. I am using the stock end links. 148K miles~

Running full stiff up front, makes a lot of noise. Sounds like it might even break honestly.

rears is good, at half stiff, sounds
good.

anyway, if mine gave out, I will definitely go with Voodoo13 or SPL endlinks.

Regardless, I recommend endlinks if you can.
