I finally got my hands on a front Addco bar, and installed it using Energy Suspension bushings. I heard different things about the end links on this forum so I was under the impression that I could use the stock ones, which aren't long enough. I got part numbers for the bushings and end links from a search on this forum and what I got were two different part numbers (9.5165R, and 9.5114R), both of which ended up being the bushings. What is the part number for the end links already? What is wrong with the end links that Addco provides since I've read I shouldn't use them?

Also I put up the other set of bushings in the for sale section if anyone is interested - https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...threadid=18125

 

The factory end links have a ball joint, Addcos dont. If you want to use the stock end-links, just use the rear black bushings from Addco. They are poly and are thinner than the red ones Addco supplies for their end-links. Then use the red ones out back, they fit fine there.

 

I didn't get the rear bar 1. because from what I read the front makes the biggest difference; 2. I could only afford the one at the time; and 3. I'm not looking forward to as much work as the rear one requires to install. So as of now the front stock end links are still installed with only the lower bushing in place, the bar on top of that and the washer and nut topping it off. Is there anything wrong with this setup for a while? I'm sure it's not as good as it could potentially be but after trying in vain for an hour to put the nuts on with both bushings, that is all I could think to do.

 

Personally I would not like to see that type of metal to metal contact. Is is possible to either use the factory rubber bushings and torque them down enough to fit or cut the red Addcos in half?
