Default Endlinks Question

I just had an alignment and they found that the bolt attaching my rear endlink to the car is missing. Nothing is busted, it I guess just snapped or came loose and fell out. Can I just use a regular bolt or can I buy one from Perrin?

You can buy a grade8 bolt. Typically they are a 3/8" bolt...length you will have to figure out. I would measure the endlink bolt on the other side of the sway bar and get something similar in length slightly longer wont matter

Since your bolt is missing it makes me wonder what happended to your spacer?? Aso pick up a few flat washers and lock washer...Torque them to 35lbs (not monkey fist tight) and dab some BLUW locktite on there or buy nylock nuts. You may need to buy spacer from Perrin

Not really... The endlinks are perrin on stock sway bar... I think it fell out recently and I dont really notice it because I dont drive hard... I just had an alignment and they pointed it out to me. I am probably just going to wait until I can buy a the perrin 25mm kit and just replace the whole damn thing.
