Aftermarket end-links needed:Where to buy?

NewYorkJon34 · 03-04-2011, 05:20 PM

So my stock endlinks apparently are busted, so I'm in search of new aftermarket endlinks. If someone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. I found these, just want to be sure I'm buying the right product: Whiteline Rear Swaybar End Links Nissan 370Z - KLC141

What exactly happend to the stock end links?

NewYorkJon34 · 03-04-2011, 09:29 PM

They pretty much "gave out" and started making a popping sound when I made turns. It happens when you upgrade your swaybars & keep the stock endlinks. Sooner or later it happens to everyone. I found the set that whiteline makes, and at a good price.

That's what I wanted to know. The popping sound. The whitelines you posted? Is that price for a set of four?

Also when it comes to adjusting them, how do you go about getting the proper length? Do you go the same as stock or what?

usually endlinks' ball joints give a rattling noise under low speed over uneven pavement when they're pretty much done.

you have to adjust the length of the endlinks with both front or rear tires on the ground (or ramp) so that they are absolutely free from any torsion flex from the swaybar when installed. otherwise your swaybar has preload and works against your coilovers or damper set causing the car to tilt or give false corner weights.

if you have adjustable sway bars you can use the intermediate settings with one endlink longer than the other side, etc. it's pretty cool. i haven't seen the whiteline one for the z in person.

I don't think we are gonna need a group buy on these, the whiteline Rear set is only $160

My dad was just there today picking up supplies. There's no doubt I can get a good deal there. I always do! Plus I need to setup an appointment for an Uprev soon. I might wait a tad longer for I'm looking at a OS Giken LSD next month. Do it all the same time. Helps me and them with time.

Thanks for the info. I now recall someone talking about intermediate settings now that you say it. After market end links would be useful for this.

I've got the stock ones. Just found a missing nut on my rear one. Been driving around with the back disconnected since my last track day in October.
