3g rear swaybar control links?

first off i cant find any new or aftermarket ones anywhere. not even any used ones yet. i need one, or a pair pretty bad because one of the nuts where the shock mounts is completely seized and i just want to replace it, or both while im at it.

do any aftermarket swaybars come with endlinks or do they reuse the stocks? i could use an upgrade anyway, i contacted some shops but no one can give me a definite answer if they are included or not.
i can find front links everywhere no rears. dont know but i spent a week on that nut, tried pb wd40 some other penetrating oil, torch, impact wrench, and broke every other wrench i went at it with. im talking STUCK. finally i stripped it by accidentally using a 12 point socket.

just need link so i can cut it off and be done with this **** any help is appreciated. i cant be the only one whos had this problem

What are 3g, 3rd gen?

I had removed my FD rear stock sway bar links years ago and had custom adjustbale ones made that use ball joint ends.

I can sell you my stockers. PM if interested or call me at 713-732-1424.

I would be interested to see them as well. I had a set of rod-end rear bar links on my old racecar, but I don't know where they came from. Where the ball attached to the bolt head, it looked machined, not welded.

Malloy Mazda sells them. Mazdatrix might have them also.

Question pinion angle problems?

hey guys! i posted this in lowered suspension also but i figured two sources are better than one. anyway my problem is that i've had my truck lowered for a couple months and i've noticed that under acceleration from a dead stop, the truck rattles and shakes really hard coming out of first and than once the truck is moving, everything is fine. it is lowered 4/5 inches in the rear without any shims. so my question is that could this be just the pinion angle is off or is it clutch/tranny related? thanks.

I'd buy a set if anybody was selling them. I'm mostly interested in the ability to zero preload, though my rear bar isn't that stiff anyways.
