Front Sway End Links ?
Happy afternoon all,
I am looking for any replacement for the front sway bar end links. - I've seen SPL, but those apparently do not stay tight. What is available for the front?

Whiteline only makes end links for the rear of the 370z.

And they're garbage. They fail faster than oem ones.

Okay, so presuming they DO stay tight.
Any handling/feeling difference before/after installation?

Not that I could tell. But you can preload the bar if you want.

There is another post about them being loose, I have them now and I put a lock washer and Loctite and still came loose after 2 months, so I'm waiting to get my camber arms in so I can do my whole suspension and really wrench those nuts down. I get a little dull clunk on driveways and bends but nothing crazy just annoying to know its there.

So I decided to blue loctite with new locking nuts. Let it sit the night, drove it the next day same issue. So I doubled nut it (keep in mind each time I added a locking nut it was new not reused) and the same issue. So I left it double nutted and it makes noise still but doesn't loosen up. The nuts have remained the same torque each time I checked, even after autocross events. I'm just wondering if they clunk due to the spherical bushings they use? If you can deal with the clunking like I do then they're not an issue. Keep in mind my car is a autocross car only, and is hardly driven on the street. |
