For those who have installed new sway bar end links did you go with Oem or aftermarket?
I'm seeing that mine are limp and making noise so they are due for a change... But with Mazda discontinuing the right side end links I'm left to find alternatives. Only the left side is available which I find odd.

Aftermarket ones like mov are hard to come by and Atkins has new OEM ones but pricey. So are the adjustable ones any good? They are at least more than half of new OEM links..

Thanks!

 

For what car....

 

Sorry an 93 FD

 

where are you looking? Mazda USA has plenty of both, FD01-28-170B and FD01-28-180B

 

Really?? I checked a few Mazda sites and they all had only the left available. So is it Mazdausa.com?
Any opinion on the ones offered by Improved racing? I know they don't last as long but I like the advantage of having no load on the bar when having the car lowered.

 

Try https://www.mazdapartsfactor.com they have good prices

I have the Improved Racing ones, they're very solid and fit well but I haven't driven much to gauge feel/durability

 

Thanks! They do have good prices.

 

I always use Ray Crowe for OEM parts. You should be familiar with his name if you've been on here since 2009

 

Ahhh yes. I always forget to check with him first. 🤦

 

Ray is the man and I have him on speed dial, but.....his shipping prices are a bit salty. The competing wholesale sites are half the price in shipping with the caveat of you get it when you get it. If I need something next day (DE to MD), Ray will make it happen.

 

I have a full set of Improved links. Not a lot of options out there and they use FK bearings, so that was a plus. I'm still waiting on my Racing Beat sway bars, so they are just hanging out (literally). To extend the life of the heim joints, rose joints, rod ends, etc., you can use Seals It seals (Summit). Same function as the overpriced Mazda pillowball seals.
