can bushings get corroded? I just changed my endlinks' bushings a couple weeks ago for 24 bucks all the way around with some whitelines. The actual links, check out a junkyard or ask around in the buy/sell/trade for someone parting out.

They make those links for every single other car in the world and only cost like 12 bucks for the whole set. There are even universal sets . They dont make oem replacements for them. One of mine is bent.

well if you can get the whole set for 12 bucks then go for it. If I remember, the rear had 8 donuts, and the front had 4. I was just saying that I got all 12 donuts for 24 bucks from pdm and they were all polyurethane.

What I mean 180 is that you can get them for everyother car on the planet for like 12 bucks, but I cannot locate them for the 240, without going to the dealer. Anything pdm (whiteline) is awesome and I would definitely do that except I need the shaft. No point i putting new donuts on corroded and bent shafts. Know what I mean. Id like to replace the whole linkages

there was someone selling the endlinks with heimjoints instead of bushings...i was surfing pretty hard and lost the page though. if someone else knows what i'm talking about it would be valuable to this thread.

Yeah I know what you mean. How'd you get that bent link though? I would suggest going to a yard or asking around to those people parting out. I think that would be your best bet aside from going to a dealership.

If you're gonna grab the parts off your other s13, then it should just bolt right up. I feel you on those bushings though man, when I had a look at mine, they were shrunk to 1/2 their original height with more cracks than a plumbers convention.

i used energy suspension links for the rear. i wanna say i used p/n #9.8120. but the best thing would be to measure them. heres a link to what you measure, its towards the bottom of the page.

warning though, it is not a perfect fit. the metal sleeve needs to be shortend by a little bit. but much beefier than stock.

if you can handle fabbing your own, i would reccomend a look through mcmaster carr's catalog. everything you need would be there to make some silly strong endlinks. look on page 1048 of the catalog to see whats availble.

i've seen premade frontlinks for the 240 but cant remember who had them.
