Engine: ALLThese are adjustable swaybar endlinks for the MA70/GA70/JZA70 Toyota Supra, to replace either worn / corroded / broken swaybar endlinks with new and corrosion resistant zinc plated endlinks or to allow for swaybar pre-load adjustment on cars that have been lowered or had their suspension geometry changed. The stock endlinks on the A70 supra have a tendancy to corrode badly being exposed under the car, and the 5mm allen head in them becomes very prone to stripping making removal of the OEM units impossible without cutting and/or drilling. Replacement OEM units can run upwards of $50-$75 per unit and still have the same design flaws. Other identical aftermarket units to these are sold at over $100 per pair. If you have lowered your car or drive competitively on the track or at autoX then chances are swaybar pre-load is a concern of yours as well. A lowered car has likely placed pre-load on your swaybars. A sway bar is essentially a torsion spring, providing resistance and preventing the car from rolling. If when the car is neutral the bar has load on it, then to turn in the un-loaded direction, before the swaybar can provide any resistance it must first release the pre-load before it can take load in the opposite direction. This will give the car the feeling of turning one very flat and with excellent response but it will roll a lot in the other direction and be sluggish. With adjustable endlinks, once you have lowered the car you can easily remove swayabar pre-load by lengthening or shortening one sides endlink.This item has been fully tested for use with OEM and aftermarket swaybars and has been used on several track cars without any failures!
Installation:
Jack up front of car (secure rear wheels with wheel chocks)
Remove both front wheels
Remove the OE end links from both drivers and passengers side.
Loosen the jam nuts on your new end links and adjust them to the exact same length as your OE end links. Since you can thread both ends out be sure to leave at least 1/8” of thread engaged on each ball joint.
Once the length is a match, re-tighten the jam nuts.
Install in place of the original end links in the following order::
Ball joint > zinc coated washer > sway bar > zinc plated nylock nut
Bolt wheels back on and lower car
Repeat process for rear axle
Adjustmentand setting sway bar pre-load:
In order to properly set pre-load with adjustableend-links this process MUST be performed with all 4 wheels on theground. This means you will need to be able to access the undersideof the car during the process without using a jack. This may mean youneed access to ramps. If you are not comfortable with this, youshould let an alignment professional perform this process.
With the car at rest disconnect one end of one end link on each axle. This will remove any torsional load on the sway bar.
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the end link until it can be re-connected without moving the sway bar from its resting position.
Repeat this process for the other axle.
