So I want to replace my endlink bushings, not the endlinks. I replaced my just a year or two ago, and of course they are on their way out... I see ES has a ton of stuff, but I don't know the ID's or OD's. What are you guys running as far as end link bushings go?

i just bought some random end links. the bushings and end links were almost double the size of stock so i doubt they will wear out.

Yea, I'm not worried about the new ones wearing out, I'm worried about getting the right sized ones, and most importantly, the right preload...

front end links

16mm high, 24.5mm od', 10mm id. it also has a lip. these are replacement end link i bought.

rear end links

8 mm inside diameter for stock. 25 mm for od. the cup that hold the bushing on end link is about 28.5 mm.

the replacement will be totally different dimensions. measure your current endlink bolt to get inside diameter.

Thanks for the help guys. I read the write up, and hopefully the ES bushings aren't too big, to the point that the sway and control arm aren't parallel anymore.. I'll give it a shot, thanks!
