Can T1 sway bars be used with stock end links??

Was curious as I know the end links with the bars squeek and require some high level of maintance??
This may be a dumb question but wanted to ask.

I'm not sure, but you might want to call LG Motorsports. They have some T1 like endlinks with teflon coating. I recently had them installed and they don't squeek. At least they are not supposed to. The down side (you know there is one, right), they cost a lot.

NO.

The T1 bar end links have a larger diameter OD bolt, hence the hole in the T1 bar is a larger diameter ID. The OEM end link bolt would be too small. You could use a bushing but it would wear and the link would be sloppy.

However you can use a T1 end link on a OEM bar by drilling out the bar hole to the proper ID.

Sounds like the teflon end links might be the way to go.
Are the bars then no maintence???



I have decided to go with T1 bars and penske shocks as my suspension mods I believe from my previous post and feedback.
