Doing a search tells me that the 93-02 F Body front and rear end links are 2-7/8”. How does one get that measurement? When shopping Rockauto I think the only brand that advertises a 2-7/8” is Energy Suspension. The rest look to be anywhere between five to seven inches. Moog has one that they list for front or rear that is 6.25,” and they have one that they advertise as a “rear with heavy duty suspension” that is 6.5” long. Both have poly bushings. Which if either of these work with the stock ride height? Are longer links to be used with a lowered vehicle? Is that the deal? Also, the front and rear links are indeed the same correct?
Thanks.
Who’d have thought choosing end links would’ve been this much of a chore!? They all seem pseudo universal. I think the oem replacement Delco’s are listed to fit a Camaro and an Astro Van. So since they’re all various lengths it seems like one would almost have to replace the front and rear at the same time with a matching set so both bars hang the same distance. Is that correct? My rear end links are ok but the fronts need replacing. If I knew that the brand X front end link was the same exact length as the stock rear I’d opt for a set of fronts only for now.
Well I ordered four Moog end links, but I might have messed up. I thought the bushings were thermoplastic but I believe they are rubber. Are the oem end link bushings rubber or thermoplastic?
Are they the white endlinks? Those are thermoplastic.
Nah, they’re the black ones. I guess I’ll give ‘em a whirl and see what happens.
The ones on there now are white and I’m assuming oem? The didn’t appear to be in as bad a shape as I thought, but I believe they are squeaking. I sprayed down the end link bushings (as well as the sway bar bushings) and the squeaking stopped. I think the squeak was coming towards the end of the bar (links) and not the center (sway bar bushings). Will the rubber bushings make it handle like an Astro Van or will I even notice? To return them or to use them?

I replaced mine with rubber a couple years ago, when I was on a budget. I've barely driven the car since then and they're completely shot. My BMR poly set arrived yesterday.

Well shoot..
How were the rubbers when they were new? Did the car feel any “looser” and or a substantial more amount of body roll?
