    Sway bar links for KWs

    Does anyone recall what cars front sway bar links to order for the KW replacements? And if they were shorter slightly vs the OE 46?

    For those asking wtf, years ago we found out (ericSMG iirc) that the links were identical to a Chevrolet something if memory serves me correctly. KW’s links used to be notorious fragile.

    These links also will work with most lowering springs.


    Answer:
    AC delco (best brand for these)

    180mm, Chevy Impala 2000-13 rear links. Moog K6662 is what I ended up buying from RockAuto.

      You can contact with Turner Motorsport. They sent me Meyle heavy duty sway bar links.

            +1 on the moog links.. I was able to score a set on Amazon bc I needed the fast shipping.


            Off topic, well sorta. Which end links for Ohlins road and track?

              I went with the AC Delco vs the moog’s. They don’t need to be greased, regularly, and they were much lighter. Moog is the victor reinz of the domestic world.. try to avoid them as much as possible.

              Will post links here when I start wrenching

                  Old thread bump.

                  Did you ever find an answer re: links for Ohlins?

                  I’m getting a metal on metal sound when angling for driveways/bumps on the front and rear that has to be sway bar related. Based on this thread, I’m thinking the new OEM links weren’t the right call.

                    I think he's permanently banned so he won't be able to reply. I think he's on IG though.

                      What the hell, I was wondering where droptop went.

                      What was he banned for?

                        So he said they banned him for making another name to let everyone know that Raj from Besian passed away.

                          Will these links be the same for the GC Coilovers too?

                            Bumping this. Installed AC Delco's around 5k miles ago back in June. They were good for a few weeks but ultimately did not survive the trip across country to CA and my front end clunk has returned.

                            Is it possible I installed them wrong and that's why they went bad so quickly? The drive across country was pretty rough and I drove hard, but they went out super fast imo. Should I replace them with another set since they're cheap, or go with a different brand.

                              the endlink for GC's i remebered is the bolt-thru type .. i have the fish-eye metal adjustable endlink from GC, which made loud noise now ..
                              due to the fact that i can't find a good replacement with the bolt-thru type .. so i ended up install back the OEM sway-bar ... sigh
