hey all i just bought a used st sway bar but it didnt come with the endlinks but for 50 bucks i couldnt pass it is there a way i can fab up my own? like buy any if they have em at hardware stores or anything? or what do you guys prefer, do you think theres any cars i could take it off from my local junkyard/pick and pullputitinyourpocket?

 

look for some "heim joints" that match up to the mounting bolts, you might try contacting ST and asking them for all the nuts a bolts ect.

 

haha i didnt know what heim joints would look like so i typed it in yahooimage search and first pic was this:<br/> haha where could i get heim joints? i guess probably like a hardware store *ace, lowes?* me gonna search any other tips anyone let me know

 

damn, I forgot you also need the brackets from ST the mount in the tow hook location, Oh and the bracket that holds the shock end of it

your best bet is probably to contact ST.

heres a link with pics of a similar bar with the pretty much the same mounting points

i got the brackets that hold the sway from a DA, just gonna custom fab it a lil, and the ones for the shock im gonna get some tuff steel and bend my own but question, the one for the shock is an L shape and thats all? like what does it keep it from rotating?

 

look at the link I added above. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2013616

the bracket for the shock has a tab on it to keep it from spinning.

edit: the pics have that bracket mounted wrong. but you can see the bracket. the bracket is suppost to be mounted on the shock with the little tab facing towards the rear with the other large end of the bracket on the inner side of the shock.

does anyone else have any ideas? i couldnt find any heim joints anywhere! i went from homedepot to pep boys to autozone to kragen and bws and ace hardware

 

try looking for 'rod end bearings'
for example:

that's what we called them at my old job, my full race setup has them on both sides

 

I measured the links on my sway bar and they are about 4 inches long, adjustable they look like these http://www.weltmeister.com/Pro...D=359
