Default Gotta Replace Endlinks

Anyone One Of The Sponsors Sell Endlinks For An 06 St? Ford Saying The Right Side Is Wore Out Which Is Causing It To Make Noise

Or Anyone Know Of The Sites?

There Was A Sponsor I Think His Name Was Tony Who Had A Site I Forgot The Name Of It

tony is from New Edge Performance.

www.newedgeperformance.com

However I was only able to find expensive performance, adjustable end-links.
http://www.newedgeperformance.com/in...ROD&ProdID=320

www.rockauto.com has best price.
I should have got mine from there.

Google "rock auto discount" and you will find 5% discount codes to use when you order from them. $18.74-5%=$17.80!

If you want stock replacements, Tousley Ford offers great prices. PM FORDSVTPARTS for information. I ordered from Steve today

^Yep, and FJ sponsors, like Steve, will pretty much give the best price you'll find, unless you are just looking for inferior products, made in China, that don't work for more than a few weeks/months.

Great tech forums full of advice will save you way more money than a couple of bucks on parts. It just seems right to support those who help pay for the forum.

Be aware that this is for ONE Side.
You NEED two.
I asked when I ordered and they misinformed me.
I am now about to order One More so that I have a PAIR.

I went for the Moogs and have been glad I did. Much beefier than the Ford parts and they have grease fittings. Also got Moog strut bearings while I was at it. If you can find a sponsor that has the Moog parts, buy em there but I would encourage you to get the best part for the money, because you will be driving the car, not any of us in the forum.

Default Re: Gotta Replace Endlinks

actually it depends on the endlink, some you have to use 2 wremches, some you need an allen key. ford changed the design a few times, cuz they couldnt figure out that the thing wear out too quickly, and aluminum doesnt cut it when handling a sway bar.

Aluminum should be fine. It's the bearings that were a problem really.
I know that my OEM endlinks were stronger than the strut tabs that they connect to...
