they dont make any aftermarket ones since dezod stopped production? when changing my struts i noticed my stockers in the front are almost shot and im getting my hotchkis sways this thursday. anyone make fronts?

ive searched yes.

dezod makes the rears ill be ordering soon. otherwise, how much are stockers for the front pair?

 

You're right... no one makes aftermarket ones now.

What makes you think they're shot though? I've been on my stock fronts (with Hotchkis sway bars) for quite some time... and my tC is over 70k.

 

get new stock ones....

 

Either get new stock, or look at the threads containing pics of the Dezod links and build your own set from parts you can get on the 'net.

how about running without a front swaybar?? tehe

 

Hey I just bought some on ebay...

Does autozone carry replacements?

 

I noticed they have adjustable rear swaybars too. Good find.

 

why doesnt dezod make the fronts anymore ? and does anyone have a good site to find the parts to make the fronts ?

 

Like I said before:



Should have the stuff you need. There are other sites too that have endlink specific items like this one:

thanks a lot man. any one know why dezod stopped making them ?

 

^ they didn't sell as well as planned.

 

Ive found some nice race aluminum rod ends, and having some hex rod tapped... Also having some studs made for the rod ends, instead of just using bolts...

Nice having access to a machine shop...

 

how much to make me a set? lol

 

what causes these to go out exactly? what whats their use?

 

cuz they weren't any good, ask kanundrum, he had one of the first sets, and they either kept coming loose, or he broke'em,

 

that sux. ^ how benneficial are endlinks anyway ? cause I have trd springs, and hotchkis sway bars.

 

DAMN! Those look much nicer.... but the price. Holy craps. I'd pay that much for a full set of all four... but not for just front. They're not THAT important.

 

There is zero benefit unless you have one or more of the following:

- Problem bending or breaking the stock ones
- A real need for adjustable ones

The need for adjustable ones can vary

- Combination of suspension parts causes clearance issues. For example, with my Tein SS-Ps and the settings I have, my front bar will contact the tie rod at full steering lock. This isnt a huge issue since I practically never hit full steering lock, but longer links would fix it. Adjustable really isnt needed.

- After corner balancing a car like some of us have, you sometimes find preload in the sway afterward. This can be eliminated with adjustable endlinks. 99.99999% of people will never go this far with their suspension tuning and wont drive the car to even near a point where it would make any difference. On a track or if you are really competitive in a class in autox where fractions of a second matter, this is more important.
