Getting tired of replacing sway bar end links every couple of years.

Someone used to offer BMW tie rod assemblies to replace the stock end link. That BMW assembly looked a whole lot beefier than the stock, or even the IPD design.

The only special modification required to use the BMW assembly was a small spacer.

Does anyone know if there is anyone making this spacer as a separate item?

I put on the IPD heavy duty endlinks about 10 years ago--they are still there with no problems.

OEM end links are much too weak, I agree. I have used IPD endlinks which seem to last twice as long. IPD also has a more expensive end link that is supposed to be much more aggressive.

At his point I am using Meyle end links from FCP. This is on my 04. We shall see how they go, but seem strong and certainly not as expensive as IPD. IPD has a sale this weekend, FYI.
