Last year I had to purchase a new passenger front swaybar endlink because it had broken at the 4 plastic "nubs". Now I've noticed my driver side endlink is also broken in the same way.

The broken ones both had orange plastic nubs, while the new replacement one has blue.

Is this something I'll have to keep replacing? (I'm running stock sport suspension). Would I be better off buying (or creating) my own higher quality ones? or do the blue end links not break?

 

I seem to remember there was a TSB about a batch of bad endlinks. The new ones should be better.
To anyone reading this that doesn't know better. TSB does not equal recall.

I found the link to that TSB: http://www.finishlineperformance.com...5-08-1948a.pdf

 

you want the blues ones, 5+ years racing with them and I never had one break

if you order the latest part from Mazda you will get the correct one

 

Like Team said, the blues one will never break and its an updated part.

there was a TSB about the end link problem. they said it does not effect driving performance (yeah right).

Just replace it and it will never give you another problem.

 

Someone have a pic of said endlink?

 

bump for an old thread..

kinda strange. i have broken blue ones on my 05 and just ordered s2 part # endlinks and they are orange..!
