Hope this isnt a dumb question?

I was just wondering how long our the end links? And where is a good place to get a set of poly end links and sway bar bushings? i would rather get them locally but i dont know if any parts stores have them. mainly because some of the people working there dont know a u-joint from an air filter if the computer asking the wrong questions. Thanks for the help Later Daniel

i would just look up the part number on summit or something like that. then stop at autozone to see if they've got them (assuming you have autozones in your area). they have a handful of energy suspension end link kits in stock - one may be what you're looking for.

Re: Hope this isnt a dumb question?

Thanks! I saw that before but one thing i noticed i have an 87 and i have a 36mm front sway bar and that one say if your "1LE" needs a sway bar. i know 1LE didnt come out till 88 so how do i have a 36mm sway bar? i know i do because i measured it 3 times just to make sure. Thanks Daniel

Vatozone has the engergy suspension stuff in one of their isles. Usually right across from the euro tail lamps, led lights, and the 6" exhaust tips....

LMAO!
Actually, AutoZone and Advance Auto both carry TRW end links with poly bushings under part# 18250HD, for about $11 each. Make sure you get the HD parts (red bushings).

which would be cheaper and probably as good as the energy ones...
