Ratpick Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I put a Tribeca front sway bar and some new eBay sourced Perrin end links on my '98 Fozzter. I thought these links were listed for 98 type chassis, but they were too wide to go in control arm bracket. I cut them down to fit. Seemed like it all lined up and fit pretty well, but once driving you can hear them pop loose as it flexes. I crammed some washers in between end link and bracket and tightened down. Seemed good for a minute but then making noise again. Is it just nature of these links? Should I try to get torqued down more? Wanna trade end links? What do you think?

Caboobaroo Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The TriBeCa has a larger hole in the swaybar compared to every other Subaru because they run a heavy duty ball joint style end link. On my Outback, I had to drill out the upper hole in the end link to accept the larger bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratpick Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Yeah! I just went out and tightened up sway bar end of links, and it was quiet. I thought for sure it was tight after running up with the impact, but not so much. So main problem was me being an idiot. But maybe I'll see if I can bore out that end link sleeve for larger bolt or shim the existing one up to hole diameter or something so it's not a recurring issue.
