Need New End Links

by **xh0rnsb0yx** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 11:50 am

so i finally figured out what exactly was making the clunking noise in the rear of my car. i took it to midas and the guy showed me that the passenger side rear end link is messed up somehow (sorry im not an expert on this stuff) but i would have to replace both of them is what he told me. they are 120 each plus labor unless i did them myself.

so my question -- does the trd rsb come with this piece? i figured that it woudl be an excuse for me to buy one or if not does anyone know where i can get this part for less than 120 shipped?

The TRD RSB only comes with bushings and instructions, as far as I know.

You can probably go to Auto Zone to find the endlinks.

try Napa Autoparts. I went to autozone when I needed them when I lowered my car, they never had them .

I just had to do mine as well...he's ripping you off. There expensive anyway, but not 120 each. Got mine from autozone for about 62 a piece.

hell, you should be able to get em from the dealer for 50-60, if they're even that high. Try pming Reggie (NVDIS1) about ordering some. Midas or whoever the screw ur taking it to is trying to rip ur ass off

yeah they definately were..ill be gettin em from reggie in like a week or week and a half hopefully

i hope the rear of my car doesnt sag or something crazy like that

How much is he selling them to you for?

I remember paying close to $90 from the dealership when i replaced my springs/struts. I was real desperate and didn't feel like waiting to get them.

Unfortunately, me too for the left rear.

I paid 120 for 3 end links (so about 35-40 each) when i had to lower my car last year.

by **xh0rnsb0yx** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 9:28 pm

i think he said 120 for 2 of the end links + shipping

ok well i finally ordered em off ebay for about 53 bucks which is a steal since i almost paid 120..

but has anyone installed these on their own??

i want to do them on my own to save money on labor but im not really good at this stuff so would it be smart for me to do this on my own or could i screw something up easily?

It's really easy to install.
You just need a allen wrench, P.B. Blaster, and i think 12mm 6-point open end wrench.
Just raise the car equally for both sides, so there's no tension.

if youre short stocked for tools any crecent wrench from any home tool kit will work too - i managed to use one to change out my struts last week

, handy lil tool
