NO WAY. Read my eariler post. Prothane and PST endlinks are square. They do not fit a 1LE sway bar. The will fit any aftermarket sway bar however.<hr></blockquote>


My Prothane endlinks are round and fit my 1LE bar perfectly.

Here is a pic. Mine are like those except red.

For what its worth, I have Energy Suspension end links on my stock rear sway bar. I am still using the stock bushings though.

I also was at Dom's house before he did the install. While I did not physicially examine his prothane endlins, I did glance at them. They did appear to be round.

His 1le sway bar ends were definately NOT square.

You are all are missing the point. The 1LE endlink bushing is CONVEX (domed). The Prothane and PST endlinks are FLAT. The 1LE end is CONCAVE (dished out) so that the endlink bushing fits INTO the sway bar.

I have Prothane and PST endlinks bushings and they DO NOT fit a 1LE sway bar properly.

You can't really see in that picture I posted I guess, but they are domed on one side. I'll just pull them out next time and take a pic. It's not the same dome as 1LE. Hard to explain. I'll just take a pic sometime.

No need to, I have the Prothane endlinks in my study. I'll say it again - they are NOT made to properly fit a 1LE sway bar. There are however fine for an aftermarket sway bar.

Don't resurrect a topic from 1.5 years ago!

*LOCKED*

For the record, my prothane endlinks fit my bars fine and I am running them.
