Any suggestions on who to go with for rear sway bar endlinks? I have a Racing Beat rear bar and just noticed yesterday that my left rear link is broken at the bar. Racing Beat doesn't have rears listed on their site. I'm also not sure if there's another company that might make decent ones for a reasonable amount of money. - thanks

 

How about these? http://protegegarage.com/1232-product-1232.html

Aubrey,
Check out www.goodwinracing.com. 'Last I knew they were $115/set. I've done some business w/him in the past and can personally vouch for his seriousness about Mazda's.
edit: Still $115. Here's the direct link: http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...t/61-0442.html

 

Thanks
That set seems to be the only thing out there. I found the same thing at therpmstore for $105. Is the protegegarage decent to buy from? Their price of $87 sounds much better. Especially since I just got laid off.

 

PG is generaly pretty stable, though I have heard that there have been problems at various times. I have personally not done business w/them and it seems some of his prices are, well... pricey. But if they offer the same for less, you might want to try them instead?
Why are you considering an upgrade if you currently have no income? That sounds like suiside to me?
When I have been laid off in the past, it has taken everything had just to pay the rent asnd put food on my table.

 

Thanks. I hear what you're saying. I'm not sure just yet that I'm going to get it. I've also thought about selling the car so I don't have the monthly payment to worry about. I have to get tags this month and that's another $250 or so. That will be a tough decision to get rid of it.

Do you think it will cause any problems with just one side connected?

 

Oh, I see. You have a broken one. That explains a lot.
I had a broken C bracket on one side a while back and it did cause some funky handling and noises. I was able to get a universal replacement for that from my local parts store though, and it's actually stronger and better made than the ones from Progress!!
An end link though is going to be vehicle specific, so you will need the correct one(s.)

 

Yeah, the bolt that goes through the end of the bar broke off. So I just have the right side of the bar connected to the endlink.

 

u may run the chance of the back end kicking out under heavy braking but thats about it
