The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXIII

Rusty

Went through the Power Wagon. Getting it ready for this weekends 4 wheeling. Had to replace both sway bar end links. The one end was a SOB!. Had to use a cut-off wheel and cut the stud on it. Got 2 NAPA end links. Both sides are the same part number but look a little different. The factory end links are $140.00 each. The NAPA ones was $16.00 each. The NAPA ones are not as strong as the factory ones.

Everything else is in good shape.

Why not use Grade 8 bolts and the appropriate hardware? The end links that NAPA & the other places sell are nothing but Grade 3 or 5 (at best) bolts with some cheesy stamped metal over them....

Can't. The Power Wagon is a different animal when it comes to parts. It's doesn't take standard 2500 running gear. The end links are a double ball joint. The factory links are $140.00 each. Good aftermarket ones are $160 a set. I got the NAPA ones has I needed them now, not 4 weeks later.
