Source for end links and bushings?

Howdy all!

For several days I've been looking for end links, end link bushings, and also sway bar bushings for my '86 4rnr. The dealership, of course, wants blood plus my first child. All the parts are sold seperately from them. So, I've looked all over the web for possibly a kit that would have all that I need. So far nothing! Well, atleast just not what I was looking for. You have to go here for end links, there for end link bushings, and possibly another place for sway bar bushings.

I did find one place, however, that had a complete end link replacement kit, but I'm not sure on the quality. JC Whitney has an adjustable end link set-up with bushings and hardware. Has anyone used or heard anything about this product? My runner is a daily driver...no lifts or mods and I don't do any offroading....save the dirt road to my house! Would this work or is just a piece of fancy garbage?
http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...010344/c-10101

To avoid another few days of frustration, would or could someone point me in the direction of getting all these parts that I need at hopefully one little place? If not that, then maybe somewhere I can get all the bushings (urethane would be nice) and somewhere else for the hardware, etc? Hmmm....I don't know, just some helpful pointers would be cool!


Thanks!

Try SummitRacing for Energy Suspension bushings and measure/match the OEMs to what you want.

Thank you! I do believe I'd checked them out already and didn't find what I needed, but I WILL look again.

Notice to admins (if you read this!..hehe):I've been experiencing some difficulties with the site and accidentally posted twice...didn't know it would do that! So, sorry...do what you need to do.

Well, they do have a kit that comes with all the bushings (finally got someone on the phone), but they have no end link bolts or hardware. Mine all broke from the rust. Know where to get any of that stuff?

I'll keep looking in the meantime..thanks!

Okay, do you mean "new" ones?

Oh, and any comments on the JC Whitney part?

Yes, I think new ones.

JC Whitney is cheap stuff, but it might be worth a shot.

Okay, okay....I got finally figured out what you guyses was saying. I was going to energysuspension"parts".com, not just energysuspension.com. I see all the ways to line up a universal set, now. I appreciate all the info fellas! Now, if Marlin Crawler would have just sent my clutch a week ago....pffft!

Yeah, I had a feeling about the JCW stuff being cheap. I'll go with the ES products, thank you..hehe!

mako offroad on ebay has energy suspension sway bar bushing kits for dirt cheap - that's where i got mine. I picked up the links from an online parts store - i think it was at partspalace.com if i remember right. I paid less for the links and bushings togather than i would have paid for one bolt at the dealer!
