Yup, don't believe the guys that say the stock STi endlinks are fine with your 29mm Whiteline FSB....



Ordering the Kartboys now....should have put them on to begin with.

Yeah. It looks fine. I changed mine just in case as I was worried it could bend from the pot holes etc. but the stock end links were in great condition.

I think the bolt at the top looks bent....The one on the left side is straight (perpendicular to endlink).

I don't either..

I've had the 27mm bar on full stiff for 2 seasons of Auto-X and still have the stock endlinks...

In fact, I've had the 24mm rear bar on full stiff for the same 2 seasons, also on the stock rear endlinks.

That looks just like mine. Nothing bent, but the link is twisted. That's what spherical bearings are for.

That's how mine look, except I've developed that annoying clunk so I'm going to order some KB's with spacers for the WL big bar soon.

I was looking at mine, as well as some pics of others today, and I think I might need some spacers also. Ill probably just make some, but where did you get yours.

Well...I don't think the bolts on the KB's will ever get angled like that. IMHO, the right side should look like the left side....bolts at the same angle both sides....

Good luck with getting that to happen. I tried forever to try to get the adjustable whiteline endlinks to match. Went back to the stockers because they are shorter and mine look like yours. I've had many autox's, 20k miles on bad roads, and 5 track days with no problem.

My Whiteline endlinks pop all the time. They have the washers on there too. Pops and clunks more than stock endlinks did.
