WTF is the deal with out end links???

[crrider80]

Our end links are so friggin hard to remove. The allen holes are way too shallow and they're in such an awkward position. I've never had such a hard time trying to remove 2 bolts. I wasnt even successful. I wounded up denting the sh!t out of my parts car with a bat. if anyone has any helpful tips please tell me. although, i think i've tried everything in the book.

WD-40 and clean out the allen holes? remove the rear ties might help? thats how mine were done pretty straight forward

I was having no luck using an allen wrench, so I just gave-in and used a vice grip on the back end. I tried twice with the allen wrench, but ended up tearing through the threads pretty quickly. After that, I just used the vice grip when I was installing my ST swaybars.

I wouldn't recommend doing it my way if you can help it.

Another reason I'm glad I live in the south. Worst case you can always cut your stock ones off and buy a new set from BIC. The stockers aren't that great, anyway.

if they're not bent or plastic like the ones the previous owner put on my car. then save some time and stress and leave them on. Chance them when you get your new aftermarket sway bars. :thumbup:

ive not had a problem with them, always just put an allen in there and used a wrench and worked just fine, i usualy break them loose first.

Or you can use an impact on it. Spins so fast the nut comes right off without the need for an allen key.

Anti roll bar drop links I think there refering to or as they seem to be called in the states sway bars.

 

[crrider80]

Sounds like somebody is combining the term tie rod end with sway bar links or something.

I'm not sure if you are questioning it or not, but they are called end links.

yeah. the thing that connects the swar bar end onto the lower ctrl arm. are both the rears identical?

That is called a sway bar link by most of the Industry. Toyota simply calls it a stabalizer link. Stabalizer, sway, anti-roll, all the same thing. So is the end link I guess.
