Rear sway bar end links

Is improvedracing the only place that sells rear sway bar end links? I can't find any at all. I was removing my suspension and broke the end link bolt. I turn the nut but the bolt is spinning in the end link.

Also one of my sway bar bolts was so rusted it broke in half into the body, guess to drill it out and hope I don't make it a bigger bolt hole. Oh the joys of a 20 year old car.

Look up malloy mazda for stock replacements. Improved racing is a good option, too.

Have you ever done this before?


You are supposed to slip a crescent wrench on the other side of the end link to keep it from spinning. I think it takes a 14mm wrench but it could be a 17. Been a while since I looked. FSM has the correct size listed.

Really? I did my driver side and it torqued off correctly and the end link rod doesn't spin still. Only my passenger side had breaking torque pings and started spinning if that makes sense.

side note, question about end links:


do the improved racing end links replace what Bryan's holding in this picture ?
(in other words, is that an end link? )

Yes. You can download the instructions for more info

Adjustable Sway Bar Links for Mazda Rx-7 (FD3S), Rear SMA-111

They allow some adjustment of the sway bar. If you don't need precise tuning, go OEM
