Sway bar links - cheap $$$

[CL65 Captain]

Just a FYI: My right rear sway bar link was clunking. Looked fine, had normal movement but it was definitely shot. So I started looking for a replacement. Found a "wholesaler closeout" on www.rockauto.com for $15. It is made by Deeza (www.deezachassis.com). It looks a lot more robust than the OEM and works perfectly. Manufactured in Turkey. So for $30 I bought a left and right link so at least they match

Great price, used on ebay they're $40 each. My question is how often do they need to be replaced? I just checked mine, by giving them the old fist-grip back and forth, and they seem tight (I have urethane bushings and probably non-oem bars - not sure because PO might have changed the sways when he had RM Racing do a bunch of work on the car). My car is a 1991 with 120K and bunches of track time, and I'd think if wear was an issue, mine would show it.

They don't show at all - unless you snap them in two :tongue:. They start clunking. I inspected it and moved it all around and it wouldn't make it any noise and looked normal, but driving it definitely clunked. I wouldn't replace them until you heard clunking noise coming from the rear - it's obvious. But for $38 shipped you can have a pair (L & R) to keep in the garage for when they do.... as they do eventually wear out.

My passenger sway bar link is hitting/rubbing my front shock. Lot of clearance on the driver side tho. Any ideas? Bent link?

Bent bar?

I noticed the same on my rear Dali 7/8", good clearance on the left and not so good clearance on the right. Pulled it off and one end is noticeably bent outward.

Great find. Did you get the Deeza fronts too? I'm thinking about going ahead and getting an entire set, hard to beat that price and they do look more stout than the OEM---

I have used this website to order my new fender li ers which were also spot on. Save a good 45 bucks per liner.

Yeah, I got all 4 end links from Rock Auto. They are always stupid-cheap even compared to chain stores. The only problem I've ever had with them was stuff being mis-boxed (i.e. I got two Left links instead of a left and a right for the front....so a little re-shipping, but they took care of it in the end).

Great find, thanks. I need to replace my rear passenger side, this is a good deal.

Thanks for the heads up. I picked up a full front and rear set. They do look like a quality piece. Now I just need to stock up on some Main Relays.

Man, how do y'all find this stuff! Lol

 

[Onsoku]

...price up to 40.00 per peice...

Glad I bought them when I did. The rears were a deal and a half. The fronts shouldn't be expensive at regular price

I've had excellent luck with RockAuto. I've used them for the NSX, Viper, and RX7. Cars you would expect to have fitment/compatibility issues but none yet to date. (crossing fingers)

I did encounter many many many many..... many many many many many issues using Autozone and CSK Auto (now O'Reilly). 9 times out of 10 it was their systems having incorrect part #'s for model years, or just flat out incompatible part. It didn't matter if it was an exotic or common as day domestic. So frustrating.
