Sway Bar Endlinks Install, Pics Inside

[StiLlsMoKiN875]

I recently swapped out my stock front springs for some Hotchkis lowering springs, during the install I had to of course take the sway bar endlinks off in order to remove the shock/spring assembly. I got lucky and didn't have to replace mine right then like most people do when they do this install because the bolts break or they have to saw them in half to get them off. I reused my stock endlinks for a week or so and decided to switch over to poly bushings instead of staying with the stock rubber ones. I went with Energy Suspensions 9.8118R (2 5/8") for both the front and the rear endlinks. Took a few pics of both front and rear installs, so I hope they help, I've noticed some members on here were curious about endlinks so I decided to post a few pics. Enjoy!

Are you still running stock bars? If so did you notice any difference?

Not for me of course as I've switched to 32/19 with ES bushings and endlinks.

I broke one of my front endlinks when taking them off, so I had to drive around without a front bar for a few days while the order for my endlinks came in to the autoparts store. Rear was just as much of a PITA but came off without breaking, but swapped them out anyway.

Very nice, I need to order my bushings and end links for when I throw my 32/19 sway bars in.

somewhat, not a crazy difference, but I should see some improvement when I get my 32mm bar on the front

So... you can just take a grinding wheel or something to the old end links to get them off? I may do that just to save myself some trouble...

yeah you could, but that picture of the bolt is not cut, it was broken.
