I have the swaybars set on the stiffest setting as well.Its had one skidpan day already and the stock links have held up okay. If they break I'll have a chat to Pat and see if he can send me over a set Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68219-swaybar-links/#findComment-1008875 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have dealt with them before and they were quite good each time.http://www.linearbearings.com.au/Products/RodEnds/tabid/126/Default.aspxThe lining material inside the rod body can make a big difference to overall performance of rod ends.

I then went for the the whiteline heavy duty linkages and broke them too. I then went to the race linkages but they were too noisy and kept coming loose. I spoke to Dougie from Whiteline and he recommended the threaded rod linkages that can be cut to length. They are a thicker link and hence a fair bit stronger than the heavy duty ones. These have worked a treat. No noise, no breakages, and now slightly longer to cope with suspension travel. Highly recommended for anyone who has had the same issues with sway bar links.Cheers, Max Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68219-swaybar-links/#findComment-1009266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
