stock swaybar modifications

[bgbmxer]

so i have been looking at my swaybar and have been looking at the poly bushings swaybar and sifting ideas through my demted head so here is my idea i want to use rod ends on the end of the swaybar instead of the rubber bushings with shaft collars on either side of the rod end to keep it where i want it. has anyone here done this to know if the shaft collars will hold the rod end in place or is this not sufficiant enough

here is a link to the parts im looking at buying

the next question is what should i use for the threaded shaft end where it would mount to the a-arm should i use a spherical bearing there or not?

like that other than i was just going to put the rod end over the swaybar and not have to cut anything

That's a smokin huge rod end for the job it needs to do. Just the ends alone are costing you close to $140 when you could do 1/2"ers for less than $40 and a couple drill bits. I think you will also run into issues with the overall size of them and the bushings and hardware needed to attach them to the sway bar. My .02

yeah. that was my idea before i saw that a smaller one will do the job. guess thats my plan. the main goal is to make it more efficiant basically
