Plastic suspension piece????

[zacritz929]

What is the white plastic piece that connects the stabilizer bar to the strut? it runs up and down and mine is broken on my front left wheel. I looked on Rockatuo.com and couldnt find out what the part is called. I can get a pic if needed.

many names

-Stabilizer bar link (or linkage)
-Sway bar link (or linkage)


Probably that the new piece will be in metal , i think the original ones were in plastic.

Yep, should be under stabilizer endlink or something close to that effect. Appearently the plastic ones are better than the metal ones. The Windstar ones also fit from what I've read.

I just picked up 2 plastic version Sway bar endlinks from Pepboys for like $23 each. This is best price I have come across.

get the Windstar aluminim endlinks rather than the plastic ones to avoid another breakage....

I thought the concensus on the plastic vs metal, was that the plastic was lighter? I don't think one is better then the other. One just lasts longer then the other.

I personally like the MOOG's with grease fittings.

well, since he already broke one of the plastic ones; does that not make the metal ones better ? flying through a high speed corner and having the plastic link give way would put you in the ditch for sure. They don't break when just cruising or going straight down the road at high speeds.

The Windstar links are aluminum. So the difference in weight (between them and the plastic ones) is a non-issue.
