Powergrid endlink alternatives
So it seems that powergrids are always out of stock.
Just found these on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/270971752065 they use the same THK joints as the powergrids but are only 90$ shipped, compared to 165$ PG's (save 75$!) Just ordered a set for the rear of my car to get rid of that damn creaking. I'll update when I get them in. |

ya my drivers rear is blown. car creaks like hell. I didnt want heim joint endlinks cause they are prone to creaking over time as well since they dont have any seals either. In the end with as few fair weather miles I put on the car, it probably didnt matter.

SPL also makes great end links, my rear SPL joints have been on for over a year now, no noise.
|
Spl are a good choice
|
SPLs are just heim joints as well and wayy more money.

These are the seals I bought for my rod ends:
http://www.midwestcontrol.com/part.php?id=2387 3/8" (RS375) for the rears, 1/2" (RS500) for thd fronts. You only need 8 of each size, but it's cheaper to buy 10 of each. My order was $43 shipped. I'll get some pics up soon - just been too busy to even install the new endlinks. |
nice find OP

Here are the heim joint seals:

|
Still gotta take it to my my buddies drive-on lift so i can properly set the preload on the endlinks. maybe tomorrow if its nice out.
