Product Details
The ECS Tuning Adjustable Sway Bar End Links provide up to 32mm (1.26") of adjustment ranging from stock height all the way down to slammed suspension setups, allowing you to eliminate sway bar preload or to fine-tune sway bar preload for specific racing types and corner balancing. With the ECS Sway Bar End Links installed, there is greater clearance between drivetrain components and improved sway bar reaction time by minimizing deflection within these heavy-duty end links. Changes in ride height resulting from lowering springs, coilover suspension, and some air ride systems will alter the amount of suspension droop relative to sway bar end link mounting distances between the control arm and sway bar. With an adjustable sway bar end link installed in a perfectly neutral position, you can eliminate sway bar preload for proper handling in most driving scenarios.
The main body is constructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and anodized black for corrosion protection. It features a polyurethane bushing insert along with a zinc-coated sleeve. Gray zinc-coated heavy-duty ball joint ends complete the connection from the sway bar to the chassis. The ball joint ends include weather-resistant rubber boots with stainless steel wire retainers for OE-like quality and extended durability against salt, rain, and ozone impact. Each set includes zinc-plated Nyloc nuts for final installation and hardened steel washers to be placed on either side of the sway bar to allow for greater contact surface. The end link assembly features zinc black chromate lock nuts and wave washers to secure the center body to the ball joint stud to maintain the adjusted position and to prevent the end link joint from binding. Total range of adjustment is 106mm - 138mm.
To ensure proper tightening and fitment, this bundle features a replacement hardware kit containing Vaico M10x55x32 shouldered hex bolts. Installing new hardware with your new components guarantees proper torque securement and correct application fitment across the suspension assembly. These end links were designed, engineered, tested, and quality-inspected by the ECS Tuning Research and Development team in their Wadsworth, Ohio facility through rigorous long-term product testing and multiple prototype iterations.
