Front sway bar end links broken
 

I have reviewed some old threads with suggestions ranging from the Dealer ($200 yikes), making your own (not a viable option for me), to stainless steel (I cant find), to Napa (I tried a parts store, but they couldnt find the part. Does anyone have any recent info on this? A part number of a solid product would be great. I really dont want something that will whittle away to nothing like these OEMs again. Thanks for any help!

Front End Links OR Discos

OR get the wabbits if you want discos

Waskilly, Appreciated. Very nice product, but a little pricey for my purposes. Any other info would also be great.

TD, thanks for the NAPA link!

Screw NAPA. The WabFab endlinks are STOUT!!! A+ customer service, too. Here they are installed on my old 4Runner. You're not going to break these. The OEM ones look like a couple of churro's compared to the WabFab's. (No, I don't work for WabFab. Just a satisfied customer).

If he had some quick disco's for 01-04 Tacoma's (**AHEM!!*** :D ), I'd be sporting them right now.

I installed these. For the price you could buy a couple of pairs.

Churros, sometimes referred to as a Spanish doughnut, are fried-dough pastry-based snacks, sometimes made from potato dough, that originated in Spain. They are also popular in Latin America, France, Portugal, the United States, and Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands. The snack gets its name from its shape, which resembles the horns of the Churro breed of sheep reared in the Spanish grasslands of Castile. There are two types of churros in Spain. One is thin (and usually knotted) and the other, especially popular in Madrid, is long and thick (porra). They both are normally eaten for breakfast dipped in hot chocolate.

Yeah, on second thought just go with the Wabbits..:hillbill:

Advance Auto has a very decent Moog replacement end links that are about $35 each.

Part # K90681 ( you'll need two )

i have been buying mine at a parts store here in canada for i think $8 a piece! i have broken about 4 of them so far, but for 8 bucks and 10 minute install im laughin! I think they are made by buck arnley or something like that...the wabfab ones look like wayyyy better quality, those bushings scream long life, but i dont have $135 for those things, but i guess if i keep goin at this pace of breaking them, i will have spent the same amount on these cheap ones.

Wabbit's cost less for the set than the dealer wants here per side....

Found my thread about how to fix them for about $5 total?

got a pair from junkyard for spares. $10

or.....

$0 if you just remove the sway bar for good.

I'm happy with "Nappy"

I broke my rear swaybar completely off and broke 3 endlinks up front, so I run with no swaybars.

I blew an endlink and somehow even the bracket that holds the swaybar to the frame. I chucked the entire front swaybar in the trash. I'll have to remove the rear one pretty soon probably, its starting to show signs of breakage.

I didn't even notice a difference with the front swaybar on or off so I don't really see the point of them unless you get some super stout ones. 4Runner sway bars are barely any bigger than the sway bars on my sport compact.

I just bought these for $28 each. I wanted the Wab Fab ones, but couldn't swing the money.

You'll notice when both are gone.:tomcat2:

Are you serious? My 4Runner swayed like a boat without the front sway bar. You should DEFINITELY notice the difference.

And you do know that even going 1mm thicker increases the stiffness exponentially, right?

I have the Wab Fab ones and like them. I recommend you order from Wab Fab.

Thanks for all the input! I never noticed both were broke, the test will be when the new ones go on and I deliberately look for improvement. My gut tells me I wont notice but I will replace them anyhow.
