Default GSR Endlinks

Ok, I've put a ITR rear 22mm sway on, but I have an LS with a 22 mm front, thus, possibly too much oversteer. So I want to put a front GSR 24 mm bar on, but no one seems to sell endlinks for a decent price. The dealer wants $51 each. GSR endlinks are #6 in the pic and LS are a combination including #18.



This is a close up. Left is LS, right is GSR.



So my idea is could you just use the old LS endlinks and change the horizontal mounting to a vertical with the use of a 3/16 inch aluminum angle piece such as this.

I know I'll have to cut it down to size, but will something that that work??? 3/16 Al strong enough??? Will I have to use some assortment of washers to leave the ability for the joint to move freely??? Any input is appreciated. $3.78 per foot is a lot better than $102 for both sides. Thx in advanced

it try and use a female heim joint and run a bolt through the eye of it into the swaybar and run a bolt through the bottom of the front arm into the heim joint. use nuts to lock it into the position you want.

Nice idea about the heim joint. Where did you get a female that's M8x1.25? And will it hold under the stresses and vibrations created by the sway bar?

its pretty common to see heim joints used as sway bar endlinks. comptech uses them in their kits and i have em on my car. as far as were to get them you can try summit for cheap SAE ones but metric try mcmaster or similar
