Rear sway bar end links question

[stevetatro]

I had an end link break (rusted pretty bad, I suppose) and don't know where to look for a new one. I'm having trouble finding one on AutoZone's or Napa's website, as I'm not sure what they're technically called!

Anybody have part numbers? Does anyone know a better place to try to find one of these? I actually need the bar, all the bushings, washers, and nuts, as I've lost half the hardware when the link broke.

Oh, is it okay to drive on it for a couple of days before replacing or will I do any harm to anything else?

Thank a bunch.

$20/each for the rear end links....

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. This is the rear sway bar end link, right? Just making sure I'm talking about the right part!

Call around. I put on a pair of Spicer End links for $23. Really liked the design. Comes with all hardware and new bushings.

I did waaay too much research on RSB endlinks, and wrote it all up here:
Alex's RSB Endlinks Page

This is meant to be read in connection with my big SHO suspension page here:
Alex's SHO Suspension/Sway Bar Page

The best deal, by far, is the Federal-Mogul/TRW 18145HD, which is sturdily built and with red TPR bushings, and *dirt cheap*.

I just called my local Advance Auto and they have the TRW end link that you speak of. The only thing is when the guy opened the box he says there are black rubber bushings instead of the red TPR bushing listed in your webpage.

Thanks.

You probably already bought a new link, but if not, you can go to your local Ford dealer and order E9DZ-5A486-A for about $19.87 net. This is a complete kit, including a new zinc-chromate plated rod, 4 blue TPR bushings (an upgrade from stock!), 2 washers and 2 prevailing torque nuts.

I would avoid any aftermarket part with rubber bushings.
