How much load is put on Sway Bar end links?
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.

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.
