Default F/S - C4 Front Sway Bars / Heim Jointed End Links

Addco 1 1/4" (32mm) front hollow sway bar with bushings. Fits 1988 - 1996 model years - $80 plus shipping.

Gulstrand Motorsports heim jointed front sway bar end links fits 1988 - 1996 model years. The links are used but in good condition. They are currently selling new for $245 on Gulstrand's web site. $120 plus shipping. SOLD

I also have a solid Addco 1 1/8" front sway bar (approx. 29 mm) with bushings. The ends of the bar were bent approximately 1" too narrow and angled wrong from the factory, so they cannot use the stock end links. This bar does work very well when combined with the heim joints above. $35 plus shipping.

Damn, if this was the 32mm solid bar I'd be all over it. Here's a bump for you.

I'm interested in the end links if they'd fit an '87. I knew the bars were different, but the end links are too?

I'm going by what was listed on the web site. I think the bushing that sits in the control arm may be different.

Would you be willing to split up the end links? Only one is needed to accomplish zero preload on the sway bar, and it would be nice to save $60.

I have not seen a 32mm solid for this car (although they may be out there). FWIW, I was able to feel a difference over the 1 1/8" solid bar I had and a huge difference over the stock 26mm bar. Thanks for looking.

VB&P lists the 1 1/4" hollow bar, and they also list a 32mm bar. I had ASSumed the 32mm was solid, since it did not specify hollow or solid. I currently have a 30mm solid and was hoping to find one a bit bigger.
