front sway

[YelloEye]

the problem is alot of aftermarket companies use poly bushings or rubber bushings but at least the stock links are partially covered to keep shit out of the joint.. aftermarket ones usually aren't so it causes them to need to be greased and they brake down more often

i'd think the fe5's are good upgrades.. hell going from my fe2 shocks/struts the ss/tc setup was a huge difference so for 58 it's worth a shot hell aftermarket ones usually only last for like 1 or 2 years before getting clunky.. my stock fe2 links have lasted for just over 3 years lol .. so if the ss/tc ones last that long i'll be happy lol

This is true.

I would think the FE5s would last quite a while.

FE2??? Guessing you're driving a pre 2005 ion?

nope fe2 came on the sport appearance package 2.4 ions so they're 06+ redline suspension is fe3

where as cobalt is fe1 for base.. fe3 for ss/na (maybe) and fe5 for ss/sc and ss/tc

ss/tc endlinks and ss.tc sway bar are different designs on the end from the stockers of other models and would not work well unless together i would think

damn there would be no way to make them work with the stock bar?

booerns that really fucks things up ... maybe i'll buy a set of adjsutable links then instead

i posted pics of the 2.2 stockers endlinks and bars...totally diff end shape to the bar and shorter links, i fyou put the links on the stock bar it would pull it to places that may damage other things...

damn .. that would've been nice to have sealed endlinks that would actually last worth a damn
