About almost a year a go I swapped out the OEM sway bar end links for shorter aftermarket ones from UPR to accommodate fitting my 17x10 track wheels.

However lately they have been making loud croaking noises when driving around especially at slow speeds and uneven ground. The noise is so bad it's ridiculous. I've had the shop lubricate them and the noises have pretty much stopped for a while until as of recently they came back.

Since I ordered these shortened sway bar endlinks a while ago through the shop, I didn't know if they came with grease fittings or not.

I've thought about switching out these UPR end links for either the ones from Bwoody or HHP. I believe Bwoody's end links have grease fittings but not sure if HHP's end links do. I've been looking at these in this link to possibly switch too.

Do you folks recommend I switch my UPR sway bar end links for different ones? If so, which ones have you been happy with (noise free) and prefer? Thank you

I had the original HHP shortened links and found they were contacting and nicking the AAD arms in back. Detained they were too short for my use and went to UPR. Zero issues from all indications, no contact and no noises.

Aadperformance.com does make links now for this however I have not planned to change any other parts

If I could do my mods all over again, I’d lock everything out and do all AAD everything suspension wise first, then worry about power

I'm using shortened OEM end links. So far so good for over a year now.

I assumed OEM bushings would be best. OEM end links apparently don't need to be greased. HHP's are shortened OEM end links.

At this point I would have liked to put back the OEM end links but don't think they would clear my 17x10 Forgestar D5 wheels.

If HHP's end links are for sure like the OEM ones but (shortened) then they might be the way to go especially if they don't need to be greased and don't make any noise.

BWoody runs poly rather than rubber

Poly is gonna distort less but need a lil squirt every now n then

You looking for maintenance free or performance?

Si just got Weld Laguna 17x10 rims and the customer service guy said they will only rub with the suspension NOT under a load , in other words hanging from a lift ? Was i misled and will be needing the shortened links ?

You could make something for your jacks to make it easier to jack up the car by the control arms but it’s easiest to just buy links

Or you could drop the k member and remove the anti sway bar and links : )

What? You can. Can make the transmission bulletproof. Company literally sells a billet e drum and upgraded steels/ clutch packs

 

[SickToo]

Which company is that? You’ve bought em before?

Lock everything
