Front Swaybar links/end links / drop links

Post by mindxcycle »

Hey Guys,
I have a 95 GPX and getting new swaybars but will also be needing new swaybar links/droplinks/end links.

So im after front swaybar links or any of its other names (correct me if wrong). I've ordered the rears from
whiteline which are adjustable.

Would prefer aftermarket or adjustable if possible but yeah mine are worn, moving in ways it shouldnt
and have torn rubber.

Thanks
Ish/MindCycle

You only need 1 adjustable link if your aim is to make sure there is no preload on the swaybar.

I bought a Febest swaybar link for something like $15 delivered and it seems pretty decent.
Febest seems to have mixed reviews on quality but it is also sold on Amayama as an aftermarket replacement to a few Mitsubishi parts so might be OK

Items like swaybar links are easy to replace and won't leave you stranded if they break so taking a risk on quality due to an attractive cost offer is worth it but anything that is either hard to get to or will cause problems if it fails then always go OEM in my opinion.

For example I recently did my valve stem seals and obviously considering the amount of work to do these it would be silly to go anything other than what is known to be the highest quality (ie, OEM).

Thanks Spetz, i'll take note.
Also thank you Vectose, I used the link you provided and purchased two of them.

I'm also after cv's but may end up going to a local shop and getting them to rebuild them. Although Febest cv's sound tempting for the price range. Although the removal and installation would be up to myself most likely depending on funds.

Hopefully the job isn't too harsh for a DIY. Most likely will be also
attempting to install new RPW Headers and an exhaust system off my parts car myself.
So i've got a bit to learn haha.

Once most of the parts are fitted (from what I can do) I'll most likely get a shop to makesure its setup properly
and everything is sound. Long way from that point for now though.

Should mention I don't run FTO CV joints. lol

Seals I always use genuine.

I just took my shafts to a cv shop and got the cvs replaced and booted for $160. It's a sh*tty messy job. Sometimes the cv won't pop off either..

I was quoted about 400 for both from a local shop.
Was it difficult pulling the shafts/cv's out and installing them back in?

Yeah I coudn't find Febest CV's relating directly to an FTO and that would explain why haha.
