    So the end links, exactly what do you mean? Because all I can think of is the sway bar end links.

    its for your steering to not be at a weird and dangerous angle aka tie rod.


    and where in oregon do you live?

    Well I was thinking about taking my front sway bar out. But how does it keep from blowing out? Only way it's going to blow out is if the suspension bottoms out right? I live in Salem, OR

    dont take your sway bar out

    the tie rods are NOT for your suspension...its for when you lower your car your tierods are put more at an angle and custom tierods help with extending the life of these.

    Ooooooh so when you said I'll blow them the first ride you meant the tie rod ends? I thought you meant I would blow my new shocks the first ride. Yeah I've looked into the tie rods. Found a set on Ebay I was told would work. But I don't understand how they go on.

    Idk if you've seen my other post about front end sliding. Was told removing the sway bar it handles better.

    I think you've confused him beyond belief here, when you mentioned end links it put that image in his head. That's why I gave him end link info to help him out. In order to get a tie rod end like your talking about, you would need to cross reference a lot of metric rod ends to find an exact offset unit.

    Lol yeah I got a bit confused. I knew what end links are, but when I misunderstood the (blowing out the first ride) is where I got confused with what you meant, thought you were still talking about the coilovers. I'll find those on Ebay real quick the ones I was told would work.

    Yeah I seen that pick in your post. Could probably use some sort of grinder too.
