Autoexe Adjustable Endlink
 

I have installed those endlink from Autoexe, they can be adjusted from 90mm to 104mm (104 is the stock height).

It is to level out the stabilizer bar when you have lowered your car. Explain with simple graphics below.

1. Normal height 2.When lowered 3.What does the shorter endlink do to a lowered car

As you can see the forces going through the stabilizer bar (when the car is lowered) is not as effective as they are level out. I have noticed the car sway when I have adjusted the coilover lower and lower, so to get the right set up. After corner balancing, I really need this link to gain more from the stabilizer bar. The good thing about its adjustability is that I can measure and adjust so the bolt on the endlink are not in an angle anymore. Hopefully I have set the head in the middle so that the stabilizer bars will work at its best.

I have barely notice any difference just driving on the road, and it probably shows only when I drive harder.

Thanks for the info Taka.

brand new in box of sale... interested? pm me :lol2:

Thx taka :)

So can I say that this end link will only benefits those with lowered cars? So if your car is not lowered, you won't feel any improvements?

Spot on. It is the fact that lowering the car makes the endlink not as suitable as before.

Taka, do you know if MazdaSpeed sells a similar part for use with the MS springs and shocks? I don't remember seeing one anywhere...

Whiteline do as well, have just ordered some to try and fix my rattle!

No they don't but these can be used for MazdaSpeed spring. If I remember correctly you drop 20mm in the front for MS springs, from the table provided with these links. You can adjust it to 92mm and you will be right.

Hey, I thought we were group buy buddies?? :confused:

The rotors I can overlook but cheating on me with your own little endlinks! For shame...:nono:

;)

Thanks Taka. I'll look into getting a set.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but it is just rears, correct?

I had the Agency Power Endlinks put in when I had my Cusco Swaybars put in!


Very tight (and bumpy!)

Notice anything different Taka?

They are only for the fronts.
Tell you Sat.

Oh....my bad. Thanks

hahah cant wait!

Awsome stuff. Guys we got our stuff from Autoexe's factory direct. Our is even better than Autoexe. Our center tube link is made of #6 Aluminum. Our kit also includes the rear. Pics!

I ended up gettting Whiteline end links front and rear. Not quite as sexy looking as the Autoexe numbers above but do the job...

Hi to New York.

What are the ones in the bottom 2 ...? Please explain...

The head is totally from autoexe and they are well manufactured product.

Thanks. Yep, these came out of same factory as Autoexe's supplier. The bottom 2 are for the rear stabilizer end links. We sale them as a package. But if you just need the rears I can get them to you too.

Do you think these will improve the handling of my car if the suspension is only lowered by about 2cms?

It will increase the efficiency of your stabilizers... whether you can feel it I :dunno:

I'm also of the view that having everything 'straight' down there is less likely to lead to component fatigue in the long term and thus help stave of the inevitable rattles, etc as suspension ages.

i have them on my car.
bought them just before the end of last year.
helps get a more balaced corner weight.

sheesh kiet! a voice from the dead!!!

Do you have theses endlinks andrew? I just know that we both have same shocks and I think similar ride height..

No mate. I have been meaning to for a while but between the turbo being fitted and work I havent gotten around to it.

I am trying to find the evo-r links on their website but between my optus cable being slower than dial up and their website design I cant seem to find any details.

Cheers

Andrew

I'm about to pull the trigger on these, but I still don't understand the bottom two in the pic?? I don't think you explained why they are shaped that way. It doesn't look anything like stock. Please explain.

the rear links are too short to have an adjustable center tube like the front link. Instead the threaded stud endlink that screws into the adjustable center tube as shown in the upper links in the picture screw directly into the endlink body shown in the lower pic. You'll have to unbolt one end from the bar or suspension in order to make the rear adjustment.

However, my STU car was seriously cornerweighted etc. and we never found the need for adjustable endlinks. With both endlink ends loosened there was always enough hole slop between the two end mounts to install and tighten the endlinks in an unloaded position following the coilover cornerweight procedure. With a three endlink hole adjustable front bar we would install them initially in the centerhole and found that they'd transfer to the other holes without loading as well. The only issue may be if you want to use different adjustment holes on one bar end rather than the other. This is especially true with most rear adjustable bars. So it mostly boils down to your intended need/use.

Thanks. You'll see autoexe come out with exact rear link we have. We got it from the factory before they do. Hehee...

I have a question .... I just lowered my car and my back&front wheels start to go sideways ... My friend ask me to get a camber kit .... Is the endlink what he's talking about ???

Nope.

Nope but you can adjust the camber to series negative degree that you don't really need a camber kit.

ooh ...then what is the endlink for ??

It links..... (be serious Taka) the suspension to the anti roll bars.

Oh FFS, just look at the first post in this thread. It's got pictures and everything! :icon_no2:

:banghead: :banghead:

Just want to show the difference between stock endlink and (AUTOEXE EVO-R) Endlink. Both autoexe and EVO-R ball join are polished. Where stock one is not. This gives you a faster responds in coners. Also on the plastic join clip on stock is easy to get loose. Which once car gets losts tension it will be come loose and make noise. One the other hand ours holds stronger.

Team, I must admit that I still can't figure out how to install the rears...the geometry just doesn't make sense...are you saying I need to take apart the stock rear endlinks and retrofit???

Can you superimpose the rear endlink onto this image so I can make sense of it?

The only logical conclusion that I can arrive at is that I was sent an incomplete set...I'm missing two threaded stud endlinks.

Jay, can you confirm that I should have gotten two extra pieces in addition to the pieces in the original pic on page 1? Sorta like this?

I need this resolved ASAP please!

I spoke to Jay and he says he's shipping me two rod ends and two nuts on Monday...I guess I will have to install the rears after the corner balancing...will post pics when done.

is the amount of the drop a direct correlation to the amount the endlink needs to be adjusted?

ie; one inch drop yields a one inch adjustment in the endlink?

Not sure by how much. But I would do it by professional who can do the wheel alignment at same time.

no...related to drop, but not one-to-one like that...honestly i think stock ride height car would still benefit from these...the whole idea is to get rid of any pre-load on the sway bars so that they are not working when they shouldn't be and start working faster when they should

There is a table comes with the kit telling you how much the endlink should be by measuring how much lowered your front suspension is.

It is easy done. I did it myself.

No you don't need to do wheel alignment purely for this. There is nothing in the hub you have changed.

Doing it on a stock height car is purely cosmetic. The stock endlink is actually quite strong. Not the same as the pivot bushes go though. So there may be very very slight benefit.

cool, thanks guys

Depends if Mazda put any pre-load into the stock swaybars...who knows.

You are right that the polished spherical ball joints are supposed to allow for faster motion...there are pics in this thread comparing the two joints.

how much can these endlinks be adjusted? ive lowered my car quite a bit

From 90mm in length to 104mm in length.

And it is about 104mm for stock and 90mm for front of the car been lowered by 25mm.

Takahashi, great input. Thanks!

You are welcome...
