    What to buy, how is this replaced? Rear swaybar link rubber?



    I noticed that a while ago, while trying to adjust my rear height, and want to know in what kit or what I would buy to replace that. Doesn't look too good.

        Would a swaybar set include new links + bushings?

        Thanks Brian, btw.

          Probably not. I think you just get new bushings for the center part of the bar.

            What, an aftermarket set? Stock links will only work with an M3 14.5mm bar and stock 12mm bar, because both have 12mm ends (which is the ID of the rubber of the stock links). Therefore, most aftermarket sets supply a set of their own links (for the rear), but you should call to double check just in case.

            Most aftermarket links don't have bushings - they're just heimjointed at both ends.

              Ah, yeah. that's what I meant. Just seeing if an aftermarket sway bar set would solve the problem.

                Haha. Let's avoid a $17 repair and buy a full set of sways. Awesome.

                  Blah, I want a set anyway. Maybe not soon, but eventually.

                  Remember, we got waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles spring rates, eh?

                  And then I would have one on you. :P
