im a moron and cant figure out the instructions that came with the mazdatrix endlinks...

from what i can make out you put four of the supplied spacers on the control arm side, two on each side of the endlink.... but what about the endlink side that goes to the sway bar, do i use any spacers there? thanks

 

I would say yes, so that the flat part of the bar doesn't come into contact with the housing of the endlink and cause it to bind.

 

how'd you get your suspension looking so clean?

new parts?

 

that is a nice looking supension. The animals you run over must be impressed

 

guess i should not be lazy and ask mazdatrix how many spacers to use...

its not as clean as it looks, the flash makes it look cleaner. thanks

 

Yes, you use the spacers (one on each side of the link). The instructions that come with it even show you the correct way to put the spacers on (one side is beveled, the other side is not).

 

Huh, it was to my understanding you could not use those endlinks on S5 control arms.

You sure that is going to work right?


Edit....

I was wrong. Scratch that.

 

Hmm, I didn't know about that. Mine's an S4

I'll try to find those instructions and check them out again when I get home tonight.

 

when i ordered the endlinks i asked mazdatrix since i have a s4 and using s5 arms if their end links would work. they said yes it would...

thanks for the pic btw.

 

whats up with your clean *** suspension arms1/!?!?

/me is jealous

what tie rod are you using?

 

Wow, so that's what a suspension looks like when you don't have an oil leek...

 

Oh, there used to be an oil leak! lol

But a few months of cleaning, scrubbing, painting, and reinstalling really does wonders! heheh

 

Must be nice to have a S4. Us S5 owners have to use the original "plastic dog bone" end links. Wish mazdatrix/RB made one for us.

 

Ummm, they do! Click here and see for yourself. They state is as 86-92, AND they say they've replaced some on the 89-92 cars already.

 

Wow that's news to me. Where were they 5 months ago when I was upgrading my suspension

 

What's that silver thing? Some sort of extender for the suspension arm? Or is that normal on the S4?

 

That's how the S4's are

 

so.... what kind of tie rod are you using (pictured) S13 Slide?

 

super now ends and spacers... i still need to get me some boots for it before i get he car running...

 

Whered you buy those tie rod ends and how much?

 

a friend brought some back for me when he visited japan. i payed $180 for the ends and spacers...

 

Do you know what advantages there are to going with this setup? How was the install procedure?

 

how much more steering angle did you acquire with these tie rod ends, and how would you rate the quality of the ball joint in terms of durability?
