Endlink compatibility

Guys, do any of you know if endlinks for our G/37 are compatible with those for the 370 or the HR 350s?

Been looking at part #'s and the first half of the #'s all match-up, but some vendors also list them for the 1st generation G's. Now i'm doubtful.

It'd be great if they're interchangeable.

Thanks for any help.

Edit: I'm referring to OEM part #s and endlinks only. Some vendors only have one or two available, while other vendors have them available but listed for a 37, 350 or 370.

Did yours break Mike? Mine are still going fine, even with the Hotchkis on for almost 4 years...

They're all still good.

Was just thinking of replacing them for no other reason than it gives me a chance to get under the car and tinker with things.

The price of the a/m endlinks, for what you actually get, is ridiculous.

I think whiteline makes rear end links for the g37 that will fit, not sure about the fronts

I was thinking along the lines of OEM. All four shouldn't break a $100.

I know, i know, ain't broke... but i think my wife is on to me. "Honey, i'll be working in the garage.", 20 minutes later, "Mike, why are you just staring at the car?"

Ding! Ding! Ding!!

I totally agree!
I've played with aftermarket endlinks on my wrx and it was nothing but trouble after that--broken, noise, binding...

Just an update of something interesting on our rear endlinks. According to Whiteline's site, the rear endlinks for our cars are the same as those for various Audi's/VW's.

That opens up the options list for those wanting to find rear aftermarket endlinks.

http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_..._number=KLC141

That same list answers my question about 370z vs G compatibility as well.

i know you guys aren't having an issue with your endlinks but i think i do! so i'm sitting on front and rear hotchkis sways and h-tech Z springs and i think the combination is putting alot of stress on the endlinks that they're preloading the sways. i'm thinking this is the case since i've been having an issue with stance since i went on the springs. my right side of the care sits about 0.25" to 0.5" higher than the left. recently i also started to notice some clicking sound when i'm rolling off my drive way or whenever i'm taking a turn on an incline at low speeds, which makes me think that the clicking is coming from the endlinks. i was thinking of picking up some whiteline endlinks since they're very high quality but do you guys think my problem would then be solved. also this note about issues with aftermarket endlinks, how often do people have issues with aftermarket ones?

thanks for input guys.

After market end links are stronger than OEM and are adjustable. The adjustability allows you to change the length of the end link so that the sway bar is parallel to the ground, thus reducing the amount of stress on the end link. You would have to do some pretty crazy driving to snap an aftermarkrt end link, like smacking a curb. Also, the adjustability allows you to adjust for the lowered suspension, which might be why you started hearing once you lowered.

Check you end links, just jack up the rear or go on ramps and check for cracks or a break. Also check the torque on the end link bolts.

No problem, the thread I linked to a few posts above does a good job of explaining how the adjustability factors in.
