ESTX-10mm Turnbuckle, Metric -- Midwest Control Products Corp. Turnbuckle feature eliminates needing left hand threads and a center turnbuckle for length adjustment. Midwest doesn't list working strength on these though. Another maker lists a similar item at 2400 lb shear strength vs. a similar sized spherical bearing at 4200 lbs. Advantage of the ball joint is wider range of movement, not quite as strong though. Worth trying? 4 of them run about $6.50 each. |
Holy shit I love midwest control. Why haven't I heard about this place before?!
Bingo! Look what I found: Link Cueball1, I haven't put the bar back yet but I think you're right. I'm sure putting it back will help. |
Nice Bryan, I'm happy to have stumbled onto Midwest also. Looks like a nice resourse for DIY. $25 fully adjustable end links FTW!

You really need to get end links weaker than your lower control arms:giggle:
Especially on an NB:vash: |
Damn, what bar you running? Doesn't look like any major rust or anything. Maybe mine wont decide to do that.

In the picture those are the RB end links, no? The RB endlinks are terrible - full time binding - no wonder they managed to rip the swaybar brackets too.

I can't believe some of these companies are charging so much for what are basically hardware store parts.

I just ordered up my new set of links. All four corners. Same parts as Olderguy from Midwest. I'll buy the nuts and washers locally as their pricing is ridiculous for small quantities. Total was about $90 with shipping.
