that sir is an endlink for your rear swaybar, the one you've got there is not a stock endlink

 

it looks adjustable, is it supposed to be ?

also, what makes you think my swaybar isn't 22mm ?
compared to these pics of other 22mm, mine sure does look the same size


besides, i already measured it with calipers, and it sure is 22mm

 

ok, so what are the advantages of an adjustable swaybar endlink ?

he is saying the endlink isnt stock...not your sway bar. i dont see a reason for it to be adjustable though.

 

It's probably a Comptech 22mm rear swaybar/lower tie bar kit.

 

The adjustable endlink makes it possible to change the preload on the sway bar. By tightening it, the sway bar is effective sooner in it's stroke.

 

hes right.

check this out if you want to adjust it

thanks for the link
but my swaybar only has one hole to attach the endlink to, so I'm guessing it's not adjustable ?.........

it doesn't adjust that way, it adjust by changing the length of the endlink itself. See how it has thread and a lock nut, it's similar to your steering tie rods. You loosen that nut and turn the endlink to make it shorter or longer.

And the ends have heim joints... interesting, never seen that on a swaybar endlink, seems like a good idea.

 

sell me your tie bar
