Aftermarket end-links needed:Where to buy?
 

So my stock endlinks apparently are busted, so I'm in search of new aftermarket endlinks. If someone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. I found these, just want to be sure I'm buying the right product: Whiteline Rear Swaybar End Links Nissan 370Z - KLC141

try powergrids (adjustable). i have them on my G35C since 2004? no issue with my stillen swaybar set. :)

What exactly happend to the stock end links?

They pretty much "gave out" and started making a popping sound when I made turns. It happens when you upgrade your swaybars & keep the stock endlinks. Sooner or later it happens to everyone. I found the set that whiteline makes, and at a good price.

That's what I wanted to know. The popping sound. The whitelines you posted? Is that price for a set of four?

Also when it comes to adjusting them, how do you go about getting the proper length? Do you go the same as stock or what?

lets find someone to doa group buy on some end links. Alot of people with sway bars im sure people might be interested.

but also

I wonder if Mikes has upgraded end links. hes got stillen sways and has pretty much done nothing but tracked his car.

I'd go for that.

Got mine from Forged Performance, they are Whiteline racing.

usually endlinks' ball joints give a rattling noise under low speed over uneven pavement when they're pretty much done.

you have to adjust the length of the endlinks with both front or rear tires on the ground (or ramp) so that they are absolutely free from any torsion flex from the swaybar when installed. otherwise your swaybar has preload and works against your coilovers or damper set causing the car to tilt or give false corner weights.

if you have adjustable sway bars you can use the intermediate settings with one endlink longer than the other side, etc. it's pretty cool. i haven't seen the whiteline one for the z in person.

I don't think we are gonna need a group buy on these, the whiteline Rear set is only $160

My dad was just there today picking up supplies. There's no doubt I can get a good deal there. I always do! Plus I need to setup an appointment for an Uprev soon. I might wait a tad longer for I'm looking at a OS Giken LSD next month. Do it all the same time. Helps me and them with time.

Thanks for the info. I now recall someone talking about intermediate settings now that you say it. After market end links would be useful for this.

I've got the stock ones. Just found a missing nut on my rear one. Been driving around with the back disconnected since my last track day in October.

My whiteline endlinks came in, gonna install this week. Here's a pic: http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/w...4/c013da70.jpg

Sweetness. I all but forgot about these. I have to order some.

Update: today I had the whiteline endlinks installed, and wow what a difference. My whole suspension set-up feels complete now. I took some corners and it feels much better than stock, you could feel the rear sway bar doing it's job and the car handles amazingly. This is prob the first review of these endlinks, I'd def recommend them to anyone that still has the stock endlinks. 2:tup::tup:

Just to confirm, you went with the Whiteline sway bar as well?

No, eibach sways. They are good quality pieces, car feels much better over stock

Ok, so the endlinks work with the Eibachs... do we know if they'll work with the Whitelines (I would assume so :icon17: ) and the Hotchkis' as well?

For those who already have sways and want to get these as well...

End links work with any set of sways. Same as stock just stronger and adjustable.

Great review. I got to get on these.

Well they work perfect with my eibach, & they are made by whiteline so that's 2 right there. Like Spohn said, they will fit any swaybar. I just wish whiteline made front endlinks as well, just to double the fun :)

My right rear bolt came off also a couple months ago. I kept hearing a clunk under spirited driving so I drove her onto the alignment rack and it was gone!! I now check them on occasion!! I also need front end links. I'm starting to hear the pop noise. I had this problem with my TT and R32 also!

Sry to hear that Kevr6, it's a true horror sound isn't it, lol my front endlinks seems to be fine, but if there were front endlinks available I'd have bought them. You should pick up the whitelines to solve the problem you are having as it's probably hindering your performance.

I've notice with my current setup it doesn't seem there's enough threads for the nut to go on with the thicker sways. It goes to the top of the nut and it's tight. But I would like to see more. I check everything weekly anyways.

How much better? more stiffer?

I was kinda referring to the eibach sways, but yes the rear does actually feel stiffer then when I had the stock endlinks.

My oem endlink is still holding up with eibach sways.

In time they will give out. They are the weak link in your suspension.

I haven't been under the car in a while but mine withstood 6 track days (and a few dragon runs) with the Hotchkis sway bars. :P

I was looking for endlinks, found the Whitelines, and then bailed on the purchase since they only have rear endlinks available. Those Whitelines are actually for the 350Z but happen to work in the rear on the 370. The front 350Z endlinks don't work on the front of the 370, hence the absence of available front options.

Fortunately, stock endlinks are only $28 each.

I just saw that WhiteLine has all kinds of fixed length end links listed on their site. I wonder if any would be a direct replacement for the stock end links. Not sure adjustability is really something I need.

spearfish- if you can, get adjustable endlinks. swaybars sometimes bend out of shape after heavy use and the adjustability ensures you dont have a binding bar.

especially a track guy like yourself, you'll probably get coilovers down the road anyway and you'll need adjustable endlinks to corner weight correctly. :icon17:

always over do the bits if you even have a hint you might upgrade later. chances are, you will upgrade later. :D

I think mine are a bit wobbly now too.

I wish they came out with something to replace the front stock endlinks

What's the deal with the ones offered by Lou@Amplified?

IDK, he never responds when I ask

I think he is working on how to manufacture.

I never think of these till this thread come back.:shakes head: I will when mine wear out.

I just bought a set of Whiteline Sway Bar end links from Motospan and they failed literally after 50 miles of driving. I did not even get a chance to corner hard or anything. I never track my car either, regular street driving. The clunk becomes more frequent and louder the more i drive and the sounds is definitely coming from the rear. The OEM ones were shot, i could move both sides of the oem very very freely. I am thinking these end links are defective so i placed an order for a second set. If these fail then I'm going with SPL.

dang Iv had eibach sways with oem endlinks that has never been replaced for over 2-3yrs, looks like another part to add onto my list
