What the title says, or does anyone know were I can find out? I am more interested in when the car is beeing raced/tracked.

The load on the endlinks is going to be whatever the stiffness of the swaybar is. If you know the rate of your bar and the length of the arms then you can easily compute the load at the endlinks for various degrees of roll. Obviously a stiffer bar and/or more rolls puts more load on the links.

What degree does the g-force on the car play with the load on the sway bar endlinks? Where can I find the stiffness of a stock sway bar or others?

DamonB

The swaybar is a spring and the more it is deflected the more resistance it provides. So the more the car rolls the stronger the bar's resistance and therefore more load through the links. The load in the links is directly proportional to the roll resistance of the bar.

I don't know what the stock rate is. What is the real purpose for your endlink question? Are you trying to figure out if a particular type will be strong enough?

I am considering aftermarket endlinks, but I just never really got the idea of what type of load rating is present with a sway bar. Beacsue I have heard of cars disconnecting the front or rear, depednding on the attiude they want the car to have.

Damon asked the key question...

what are you planning to accomplish by aftermarket end links? the oem links are beautifully designed and are racecar configuration with spherical rod ends.

some endlinks have adj length so you can preload the bar but i doubt you would want to do that as the cornerweights on the car are very nice to start with and there are a million other chassis tuning things to do before messing with bar preload.
