Question about AE92 swaybar endlinks - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I was looking to find a cheaper alternative to the 100 dollars a peice the dealer wants for the swaybar endlinks for my ae92. The car is a sedan but all the suspension components are swapped from an 1988 GTS. Anyhow, I found the following parts on ebay, and was wondering if they'd be compatible.

For the front:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/2-Front-Sway-Bar-...spagenameZWDVW
For the rear:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/2-Rear-Sway-Bar-L...spagenameZWDVW

They are listed for slightly different model years, but the ae101 and ae92 stuff is pretty similar for the most part. Anyonw know if these are backwards compatible?

Mercedes 190 fit the rear and they're better quality than OEM

Whatever you do, don't order anything suspension-related from rockauto.com ... they're usually great but the links I ordered for my GTS ended-up being for the sedan. It's not worth the shipping to return them, so I had to pay the $200 el-retardo price from the dealer. Maybe next time I'll try chewing gum and tooth picks, MacGuyver-style!

And by the way, those look like the correct kits (I'll check the part # later today). I'm jealous you found that eBay listing, I wasted all that money!

lol dam dude thats alot of doe !! im puttin up a hissy fit about dishen out 40-50 bucks each for these things lol

Yeah, apparently $20 worth of tempered steel, $0.30 worth of rubber boots, and 0.0000000672 seconds in the press make these links worth $91 each plus tax. For that price, if I hadn't been in a hurry, I could've bought an old Detroit press and mould and made the damned things myself for LESS!!!!

It seems like a lot of parts are more expen$ive for the GTSs, tho. Front fenders for the sedans are between $60 and $80, but they're $120 for the coupe...WTF?!?!

Kinda reminds me of buying parts for my Talon, back in the day.
