Rear away bar end links

[Derek Powers]

60k miles and mine are junk. Don't want to replace with overpriced factory junk. What are you guys using? Stock height.

Hellwig, do the bar too. Worth every penny

 

[Derek Powers]

Is it really worth the $500? I have a hard time believing that I would notice that much of a difference.

 

[Tim Garceau]

If you only putt around to the grocery store and never haul/tow then no. In fact the lower trim levels do not even have a sway bar, at least the early Gen 4s.

 

[Derek Powers]

I definitely tow/haul..

 

[Tim Garceau]

Thought about this more. I’m going to cut the OEM end links down to level from lowering and reinforce with bigger diameter tubing. Fully MIG welded

Can’t justify the cost of Hellwig’s either

My ‘14 tradesman came with a rear sway bar that I upgraded to a Helwig.


I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

thuren makes a nice set. and they can be rebuilt.

Too late...I already ordered the hellwig. Lol.

Hellwig and Core end links

 

[Derek Powers]

Is there a benefit to the core links over the hellwig

Probably no difference in performance. I like Core products and you can select the color. Core has zerks for greasing, not sure if Hellwig has or not.

Core’s are not adjustable if you decide to move from stock height. The link is 95% in compression or tension so beefing it up is for aesthetics only.

Correct, I definitely did not want adjustable links.
Wouldn't the rest of your comment apply to any link set to "stock height"? Not sure what you are implying.

 

[Tim Garceau]

That they’re a waste of money unless you want a larger colorful end link.

Just my opinion though John.

 

[John Jensen]

Gotcha - I tend to agree.

The one thing I did not like about the OEM links was the seemingly weak swivel type ball mount attached to the sway bar. I like the Cores larger, more positive, stronger, zerk fitted ball mount.

It looks cheaper too. There are several cheaper alternatives. I just don't go "cheaper"
