Great News, sway bar end linkages Options

[Cormudgen]

Great news for everyone that has had a problem with a stripped sway bar end linkage. I happened to be at Discount Auto Parts earlier and figured I'd go ahed and ask him if he could orde some Sway bar end linkages. He says "nop, but i've got em in stock". Anyways they are only $23.99 a side! I know my Toyota wanted $50 a side and I've heard of other dealeships chaging as much as $75-100 per side. I went ahead and got them so hopefully I will be able to put them on this weekend!

i'll let you konw how it goes.

Pic in this thread of my replacement ones I made, kind of shows you where they go, this pic is of the rt. front taken from low on the right front side, lower end is bolted to the control arm tab, upper end is bolted to the sway bar, the OEM Toyota ones have a ball and socket with a rubber boot instead of these rod ends, the stud on the OEM ones has a hex in the end so you can hold it with an Allen wrench while loosening the nut, If the allen part strips out, then you usually have to cut them off or use the visegrips to clamp it in the rubber boot area to keep the threaded part from turning.
