Does anyone have the Energy Suspension part number for the rear end links for a WS6 Firebird with the 24mm rear sway bar?

I haven't measured to be sure, but it looks like my rear end links are shorter than the fronts, by about 1/2". I've sent an email to ES, but they haven't replied, and anyway, I trust an answer from thirdgen.org more than the vendor.

Also, does anyone know if the greaseable rear sway bar bushing packages will fit or are the bolt holes offset like on the fronts?

 

I used the same set that I put on the front bar. I do know that my factory sleeves were a bit shorter than the ES ones though. It didn't make enough of a difference for me to cut them. I'd just keep the stock ones around and compare them to the ES links you get...cut if you feel it's necessary.

Go to .......Top-DownSolutions.com......the end links LonSol sells are 1LE with yellow polyurathane bushings....cost is $10.50 each without shipping.....check it out you might want to buy from him instead of ES.........

 

looks like a nice piece!

 

Yes the fronts and rears are different. I ordered the ES end links myself. I dont have access to the part numbers atm, but i remember the fronts ended with 17 and the rears ended with 25. Hope that help a little. Seems like the salesman had to do some digging to get the rear numbers since it usually comes in a kit i believe.

 

I used the 9.8117s front and rear..no problems. I know that the sway bar ends and the A-arms / rear end link mounts are supposed to be parallel, but it's not enough of a difference to give me any problems.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'd like to go with Lonsal's stuff, but I live in Canada, and shipping + duty + "handling fee" makes it totally unreasonable to buy most things from the States myself. I can get the ES parts from a local speed shop for cheaper.

That's a good point you make about the ends being parallel, ebmiller, I'll see if I can modify the ES endlinks to work.

Does anyone know the answer to my second question, about the greaseable rear swaybar bushings? The email I got from ES didn't answer it at all.

 

The rear sway bar mount holes are parallel, no offset back there like the fronts have. You shouldn't have a problem.

I used greasable Part Number 9.5160 for 15/16"/24mm bars.

Here's a pic of mine.

I used GM poly, which are still available.
