sway bar end links - not sealed?
got a tri point sway bar set and the end links are not sealed, should I get some of the seals from bakerprecision:

and put them on for the same proncipal they are put on the toe links...to prevent premature wear from road grit/grim.

damian,
my car is at the shop so I can't look under the car...
I think those spacers where there but i can't be sure. DamonB is under his car alot and probably remembers...though he might be a bit hung over today
I think the seals are a great idea as Damon mentioned wear on his in an old thread in the suspension section...
Let me know the size so I can order a set also.

I am not sure how the seals are sized, but I would guess that it would be by the hole in the ball. Those rod ends are nowhere near 5/8" in bolt hole size. I think they are somewhere in the 3/8 - 7/16 - 1/2 range.

FWIW the Tripoint bar I have has (expensive) 3 piece teflon lined rod ends and they have lasted longer than 2 sets of aftermarket toe links. I have not bothered to seal them.
The conical washers are steel or aluminum. They are there to prevent the rod end body from binding as the suspension moves around.

I thought that seat belt hardware (including harness eye bolts and the holes in my Japanese car that they very surprisingly thread right into ) were standardized at 7/16"-20.
