WTB: Sway bar end link - Toyota Yaris Forums

thepoche · 11-10-2009, 09:46 AM

I stripped the hex key hole on one of my sway bar end link and the dealers want 180$ for a new one.

Anyone has one I could buy or know where I can get one cheaper?

It's scary driving this thing on stock springs and no sway bar

id check the wreckers...

werent able to get it off with an impact wrench?

The bolt just kept spinning with the nut, even after soaking in wd-40 overnight. I ended drilling through it to take it off.

I'll check the wrecker if I don't find anything here. I don't like going there.

actually, a friend of mine makes adjustable endlinks for the matrix, i can check to see if they'd work for the yaris...

iirc, they fit...just didnt need them for myself...

I have some adjustable endlinks that I had made up earlier in the year, these pieces are aluminium and Stainless steel units.

I just noticed that these pictures don't have the jam nuts installed but they do come with them.

Thanks to dnm for these pictures of his installed!!!!!!!!

One is right hand thread while the other is left hand thread so when you install them it is easily adjusted simply by turning the center turnbuckle right or left to adjust both endlinks.

Price is 100 plus shipping

PM me on here please

Thanks

mikenacarato was making those as well, but they were quite noisy (clunk clunk) on the Yaris.

I believe I have another set from my stock struts that came off when I installed my coilovers.

Ill sell you my set of adjustable swaybar links for 75 for the pair plus shipping. Garm is right though they are a tad bit noisey when going over bumps since the heim joints clink a bit sometimes.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
