I am thinking of doing away with the plastic linkage thing on my S5 for the nice one on an S4 TII. I can do this type of conversion right? How would I go about doing it?

Why not just get some adjustable end-links?

 

Good question,
I never thought of it that way.

 

Yeah, I got the ones from Mazdatrix.The links and some polyurethane sway bar bushings made a noticable difference on my car.

 

I heard there is a problem with the front sway bar mounting points on the series 5 cars. putting in upgraded links is possible, but supposedly can be fairly noisy

 

I haven't had any problems with mine or at least not any front end specific problems.The only thing I ever have to do is spray some white lithium grease on them once or twice a year so that they don't squeak but it's mostly my rear ones that ever squeak.I think it is because they are all metal and when the lube dries out of them they squeak kind of like the hinge on a door.I don't consider it a problem though.
