I have an 05 Coupe. I am using stock end links with my Stillen Sways. The stock end links look so fragile so I was thinking about swapping out. I heard the stock ones break very easily.

Anyone using aftermarket with their sways? What's available? Are the stock ones that weak or is that what everyone is just using?

 

There are Nismo Heim Jointed end links. Those are performance pieces and are very costly. These are the only ones that I know of.

I have an 03 sedan, and I replaced mine with 350z links. They were much beefier than mine. I have no idea what the 05 coupe's are like though. Just something you might want to look in to.

 

Yeah the stock ones look so whimpy. I can't believe a fat sway bar is connect to something so skinny and fragile looking.

 

You don't need to replace the endlinks unless you lower your car or just like to spend money on gifts for your car. The stock ones are fine until you lower your car more than an inch or so. Then you need aftermarket links that are shorter to keep the same linkage geometry of your sways.

You can make your own out from components from McMaster Car (www.mcmaster.com) for about $40/pair. There was a thread somewhere that listed the part #'s. If you can't find it I will post the part #'s later tonight.

 

Much appreciated. I searched here and my350z.com with no joy.

Go to the link above, then to the bottom of the page.

I have the Nismo end links in the front. I love them, but the direction's provided are really bad. Be prepaired to really ponder how all the washers get stacked, get it wrong and you'll be limiting the bearings avaliable travel range,...NOT a good thing to get wrong.

 

Once again, thank you.

 

Your welcome.

If you get the Nismo one's let me know in the front I learned a trick to overcome the small washer size they use which gave me a problem. But I solved it.

 

I made mine for less than $90(four corners) using pieces from a local Nascar parts store..Make sure to use lock washers.
