I was planning to do the sway bar endlink mod with the Nissan Sentra end links. I know the bolt can come somewhat close to the CV boot. I was under my uncle's 02 Sebring vert and though these might be a good alternative. Thoughts?

I was looking into this mod yesterday, I see all the info that was on the PNW website is gone.
Anyway to get it stickied here?
I'm interested in this mod as well- is there another link to where the info is? Thanks!
I have a set of Sebring convertible sway bar links I'm going to eventually install. You basically have to cut the ends of the sway bar to proper length, drill and tap to whatever bolt will go into it and wither use an existing hole in the control arm or drill a new one.
Huh. Just looked up the Sebring convertible end links; those are definitely funky- and I can see exactly how they'd be used for this application.
I like the fact that it uses 2 ball joints instead of 1 with bushings that way you can hopefully avoid being to close to the CV axle and it should have freer movement. Maybe?
It looks like it should definitely at least not bind up as much as the stock setup. I think that the rod-with-bushings setup (like the PB sway bar uses) would be even better in that respect- but this should be far more cost-effective.Quote:

I was thinking that the bushings would move a bit more freely side-to-side and bind less, but I guess it's just a matter of where it's rotating- the Sebring link will rotate closer to the center of the link at the ball joints while the PB/heim joint would flex/rotate at the control arm pass-through. Both would definitely be an improvement over stock though...
If anyone wants to weld the end tabs on their bar like we do here, you can buy them from PolyBushings so you can do your own bar.
That's a decent idea actually. Welding a tab on should be infinitely easier than drilling and tapping.Quote:
