Adjustable rear sway bar links
instructions
Bought these as I got tired of hearing the taps on the rear halfshafts.
Install took about an hour - pretty straightforward, but possibly a trip to the hardware store for some bolts is required. I bought my swaybars used years ago, and they came with no hardware, so...
For ~$100, easy solution. I know others have built solutions before this was available, I was just not driving enough to worry about it. 1 trip tohttps://tailofthedragon.com/ - and it was time.

- Get grade 8 or greater quality! These ran me ~ $14 in total from Home Depot
- Top bolt is a M8-1.5 45mm. Get a locking nut
- Rear bolt is a 10-1.5 50mm. Get a large and small washer - see the mounting instructions to get an idea on the size, and a locking nut.
- I adjusted mine to ~3-4mm longer than the stock unit. The only way to test is put the tires on, lower it and see the spacing (again, per the instructions). If not right - uninstall and adjust. Don't tighten the nuts till you verify fitment - locking nuts should be a one time use.
- Comes with grease. I removed the zerk (grease) fitting and seperated the busings some and squeezed it in. Who still has a grease gun?
- I had to push the unit up from the bottom, without the top spacers on, as the gap was too tight with them in. I then installed the spacers on the top side and lowered it down - perfect fit!
