Does anyone besides whiteline make sway bar endlinks for the 370z? Do the endlinks from a 350 fit ours? The only ones I can find seem to be adjustable and only for the rear. Please help!

That's about right. Not positive but I believe whiteline is the only ones making endlinks and for the rear only. I've tried to get a shop to make some for the front for they have on the GTR but I don't think it's going to happen. The sad thing it really is easy and simple design. Just need measurements taken, testing, then actual process of manufacturing them.

Im going to be talking to another that will defiantly try anything for us. We'll see. I've actually forgot about them till I saw this post.

SPOHN- Let me know what you come up with man.

So as of right now, the only thing we have to replace our endlinks with is another set of oem endlinks that failed in the first place? boo.

A part of me wants to say that I heard from Whiteline that they are developing a set for the front, but I am not 100% sure. I have sent them an email to see if I am remembering correctly or just making it up.

I assume the reason that nobody has done fronts yet is because one of the bolts for the front end links is a major support for the coilovers up front. Not that it is a major road block but its the only reason I can think of other than maybe that they only offer the rears because they happen to fit on multiple applications whereas the fronts may be specific only to the 370Z. Who knows.

Yea that big bolt that is part of the endlink that holds the coilover to the lower control is a different setup from the 350. But as you stated its not a block in the road.

From Whiteline R&D...

“370Z front links are difficult to make as the link has an extended spigot fitted. An option that may be suitable is to use a screw on spigot over the existing link to suit this model but would need to have a good look at it to see what can be done”

Yea, I think I'm just going to buy some extra OEM ones to have at the track. I know Mike hasn't had an issue with his yet and he tracks a lot.. There so short which probably makes them pretty sturdy.

I've talked with Whiteline and they asked me to send them measurements and pictures of the front end links. They think they should have something in stock that would fit...just not adjustable. I never got around to measuring and photographing though. If someone else wants to, I bet they'd still oblige.

I guess I will be emailing whiteline. Hell, I wouldnt mind sending them the front endlinks when I replace them.

one of my rear links just broke. the timing is horrible since i have a track day coming up this coming sunday. i ended up ordering a moog replacement. does anyone know if these are better than oem? if i remember correctly, moog has a good reputation for high quality oem replacement parts that are supposed to be better than oem. does anyone have experience with the moog sway bar links? i got them from autoparts whare house online. almost $100 for both sides total including the overnight delivery.

Aftermarket ones are now available for the rear. The Moog parts numbers (for OEM replacements) are; left: K750044 and right: K750047. Again OEM replacements for the rear only.

$100 for both? Kind of expensive. I sell the Moog numbers for $39.95 (Canadian) each. FYI
