Default endlinks are finished, no more rubbing or hitting





these are picks of my custom made adjustable endlinks.
they are made of aluminum and steel, they came out perfect. no more
rubbing and they look great, i havent put the rear ones on yet i am
waiting on some spacers to come in.
the PROBLEM IS SOLVED

these are picks before i adjusted the endlinks about 1 inch, as you can see i was rubbing on the tie rod. when that was a problem i had a shop cut my stock endlinks. the tie rod rubbing was gone but then it started hitting on something else, so i made the adjustable ones.
I HOPE THIS HELPS EVERYONE OUT

Did you make them yourself, and if so, do you intend to produce them for others? If not, where did you have them made and what was the cost?

Certainly look like they'll perform much better than stock!

How did you determine that the new endlinks aren't putting preload on the bar? Scaled? Simple jiggle test?

i made them myself, and i will be offering them to others. i dont know the price yet i havent calculated it, but my intensions where to help everyone out. the parts are going to be all aluminum , they are well made parts that are used on sprint cars. so far so good on the handling and the overall ride. they are about 2 inch adjustable so you can adjust them to you specs. this is like day 2 and no probs. i am very happy on the way they turned out. i will keep you updated on the price and on how i will be handling the payment, prolly on ebay.

and so you know there are spacers you cant see so the movement of the endlink is as acquivlant to stock just stronger and adjustable
