ST sway bar help needed!

I bought a set of used ST sway bars. He included no instructions. Does anyone know the part number of the bars? Also i cant figure out how the endlinks bolt on?

Any help would be appreciated.

the endlinks were left attached as one whole link.. i zip tied the each set of endlinks to its associated sway bar.. the endlinks are hooked up by placing the sway bar's end w/ the hole for the endlink bolt to travel through.. soo... if you look at the endlink attached it would be one bushing on the bottom of the sway bar another one on top of the sway bar then the spacer/washer and another bushing then the connection to the lower control arm and another bushing on top of that.. w/ the bushings in that order you just thread the bolt through and tighten the nut to hold it all together... another other questions jsut feel free to ask

so i got it on there and there was interference with my new exhaust by almost an inch. So i need to get my exhaust moved a little bit.

the endlinks in the rear confused me, because it looked like it was going to be pulled at an angle. I was expecting a similar style endlink as the stock one.

well .. if you had a custom exhaust done on your car. then that would usually be the problem.. because when i installed the sway bar it was a little tricky at first w/ my tanabe exhaust.. but it finally fitted in just fine w/out and interference...

I'm not sure what you mean by being pulled to an angle.. the endlinks are straight and they were the ones that the kit came w/.. only thing i suggest you do is buy new bushings for it at like Autozone for $5 bux for front or rear set of endlinks... make sure you get the "polyurethane" or "urethane" bushings..

Any problems with the endlinks breaking ? I did a search and found earlier posts about Caspar98CL having broken endlinks once a year. Any fix yet ?

I never got them put on because i have to redo my custom exhaust because the piping was running to low so the sways wouldnt fit.

FLCL, do you have any input regarding the endlinks breaking ?

Anyone with any experience with the ST sways, I'd really appreciate it the feedback. BTW, if the endlink breaks, what part number/size from Energy Suspension do you go with to replace it ?
