Default Hotchkis end links

Is anyone using their new ( ball joint ) end links ? I have had their old style ( heim ) for a long time and they are starting to fail. I would like to use the ball joint type but I wonder if they can take as much abuse as the heim joints took.

Thanks

For anybody else that was curious. :-)

Also found these in GRM recently: http://www.powergridinc.com/swaybar.asp

And Pfadt has teased us with some nice looking ones, too...

Sometimes I think I should do a set of these as perfect as possible (for a change), rather than as cheap as possible. They need to be quiet, have seals as good as an Apache gunship in the desert has, turnbuckle adjustments without jam nuts, corrosion resistant, low friction and made in USA. I will make some for my car and if anyone else wants them perhaps I will sell them.

Don't get me started on end-links!

These USA made end links (with custom Pfadt pieces) are going to be available as part of our new sway package AND as a stand-alone kit. The stand alone kit will be available by the end of April and the new sways shortly after that.



We're also working on a kit with seals.

I got these from Vette Brakes. They're the T1 style end links. At $100 a set hard to beat on price!

Doug,

I just installed the Pfadt coil overs and Pfatty sway bars. If you want the end links from my Z06, I'll bring them to Moroso on Saturday for the Corvette Challenge!!

BTW-that's your car behind me in ther pic!

Thanks for the offer, but I will rebuild amd keep the Hochkis until something better turns up.The one's Pfadt are working on with seals is what I had in mind.
Glad that you are going to make it to the challange. See you Saterday night.
