I recently bought a set of whiteline sway bars (Front and Rear) used for a good price. I got the rear sway on no problem, my question is for the FRONT sway, I noticed that the endlinks had no rubber bushing, yet the rear endlinks had the rubber bushings. (I'm not talking about the D-bushings). Did the front whiteline sways endlinks have no rubber bushing at all. Because I've asked the seller before I bought it if I had everything I needed to bolt right on and he said yes. Because I put the front on and my buddy told me that having that endlink rubbing strictly on metal is a bad idea. I've searched in the forums and couldn't find the answer to my question.

So the endlinks for the front whiteline sways should have bushings right?

Thanks for the reply.

I bought it used tho. AND I also think that the previous owner of the sways bought the custom endlinks from PDM. BUT it didn't come with rubber bushings. and also if you see in the pic on the website, I don't see bushings on those custom pdm endlinks. PDM states "These links are sold in pairs, and will do one end of a vehicle. Each kit includes 2 male, and 2 female rod ends, jam nuts, AN bolts, AN locknuts, and spacing AN washers." Nothing about bushings? Just wondering if I need em.

adrians s13, thanks for the reply.

Yea I know those are the bushings, but nah they don't look like that. It actually looks more like these See how they don't have those yellow bushings. Question is do I need it to put on the front sways?

I'll try to get some pics of the used front whiteline sways.

ooh I see.

Not, you dont need it then. I'd imagine that the ride will feel more firm and solid though.

Thanks for the reply again adrian, but yea it was my mistake it kinda looks like the first pic. but my question was geared more towards the nut and bolt that will be connected to I think it's called the lower control arm? Or whereever the sway endlink connects to. But I attached a pic, the area that circled RED, please help. =) BTW these are for the front.
