I recently within the last couple months replaced the oem struts with Tokico Blues. I just went to put my Eibach rear sway bar back on and there isn't anything to bolt the endlink to on the strut. Well at least not in the right location. Previously on the OEM struts I had to install tabs on there to connect the endlink to strut bar. Which I actually broke one of these because the stress and it rusted. Is anyone on here running Tokico Blues & a sway bar? Someone point me in the right direction. Anyone have any experience with this? I really would like my rear sway bar installed again....

 

I have tokico hp blues and i have the oem sway bar in the rear. There should have been tabs already welded to the struts from tokico. I'll take pics later to show you. Also how is it my car which is a 01 SE have an oem sway bar and your sxt does not? I am confused on what cars came with them and which did not.

 

mine is a 02 se, and it came with no rear sway bar, my struts from kyb had the tabs, but i know there was a guy out there that was making mounts to mount to ur struts that did not have the tabs already on them, but i can not think of his name....

 

lol this makes no sense did they just randomly throw sway bars on neons and not on others? Anyways here are the pics your looking for.

 

Can you get a few more pictures, maybe of different angles? My car did not come equipped with a strut bar. My stock struts had no tabs so I had to attach tabs to the struts. My tokicos did have mounts on them just like you have. What threw me off was mine was mounted in a different fashion. I'm pretty sure my endlinks are different then what you have pictured so maybe I will have to get something different? I have the eibach front/rear sway bar kit. I know I have all the parts for the rear it just appears to mount differently. So if you would be so kind as to take some pictures at different angles I can probably figure it out.

 

yeah i can do that tomorrow for you and sorry about the second pic exhaust gases were blowing in my face lol. I think you might have to get different size endlinks so that your sway bar will fit correctly. When you got the tokico's did you get lowering springs? If so what did you get and pics please. I got sportlines on mine but now i don't know i'll prolly save up again and get coilovers so i can go lower.

 

Thanks smallblock. I just really need a good picture of how your endlink attaches to the strut and sway bar. I'm thinking that I may need a different style of endlink now that I got tokicos instead of using the bolt on bracket I had before which broke before I put new struts on. Anyone have any idea where I would get different endlinks if I do need them?

 

I would think the endlinks from our oem sway bars would work but not sure but you can get the oem endlinks prolly at a local parts store. Here are some more pics really hope these help.

 

Thanks for the pictures smallblock. Those confirm what I thought I was seeing in your previous pictures. The hardware I have attaches differently then the way yours does. I will try and post some pictures of how it was on there before in a bit. So now I'm stuck, not sure what I'll have to do. Maybe fab up something I guess?

 

Sorry for the delay with posting pictures.

This is one showing the tab I had installed at the base of the oem struts. This is the part that I broke awhile ago which is why the sway bar was taken off the car. Then I got tokico struts to replace my worn out oem struts.

It might be hard to tell, but my endlinks are definitely different then what you have. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what I need to do? Or where I could get a set of endlinks that would work?
