I was changing my springs (for sportlines) and the upper ball joint bolt from the front stabilizer linkage (? i think this is what it is) kept turning with the nut so we had to clamp a little metal piece in the back and by the end of it tore the ball joint boot, or wtv its called.

Anyone know what this part is called, or the part # preferebly. Don't mind finding the # myself, just wanna make sure im looking for the right piece haha. I guess i gotta order the whole piece, meaning the assembly which includes 2 ball joints and link?

Was also wondering the importance and urgency of replacing this part? Guess i should just change it to be safe.

Thanks guyssss!

I dont think they are too expensive from napa, autozone etc.

 

endlink is the part

 

If you want to change it, just ask for a front swaybar link.

But there is no need to do it now. The boot keeps crap from getting at the joint. It will probably take 6 months to go bad and even then, it's not a danger.

 

Oh op needed the name? Ya end link

 

Thanks.. was thinking of some duct tape lol but i like my car better than that.

 

powergridinc links. ottperformance.com.

muy bueno.

 

one of mine has been torn for a while now...at least 8 months...and no issues yet....its the right side one (passenger)...but like will said...im looking at getting some powergrid adjustable links

 

interesting.. but will changing such a small part improve handling or stability at all? comparing to springs, shocks, strut bars/ or sway bars... seems insignificant lol
