Addco Sway Bar for Tacoma

I just purchased a Addco 1 1/8" bar for my 04 Taco. I searched and found a limited amount of info on Tacos and a lot of stuff is years old.

I'm trying to find replacement end links. The factory end links don't have enough thread on the bolt that mounts to the new thicker bar. I can't seem to find anyone that sells aftermarket endlinks. Addco's website is junk and doesn't give any information.

I would like a set of disconnects if I could find them.

I also need a different frame bushing. The including bushing did not come with a bracket and doesn't fit in the stock bracket.

All my searching found some info that suggests aftermarket frame bushing/bracket kits are weak and can break. But that was years ago. Is this still an issue?

Any help is appreciated.

Why don't the taco kits come with endlinks? I had the same prob with the frame bushing and energy suspension made a bracket for the larger size.

It came with frame bushings that doesn't fit the factory bracket and 2 end link donut bushings. That's it. No instructions either. If I needed new end links I would have liked to know in advance of attempting the install. Same goes for the bushings.

Many auto parts stores carry generic end link kits, I know Pep Boys and Kragens/O'Rielly carry them. Or just get a longer bolt for the ones you have if it a simple version with a bolt, sleeve and the bushings/washers.

For disconnects, here is an option:

I am open to all options and if this works ill do it.

My links have 90 degree ends on both sides. Forgive me but I don't understand the universal stuff would work.
