Ok. here is my question. What size end links do the 98 ss camaro sway bars except? I dont know how to measure them. The sway bars and matching bushins and end links will all be going onto a 94 Z-28. I have the 98 ss sway bars and need to buy the necesary end links for my application. The mounting bushings will be an easy measurement... Just measure the diameter of the sway bars. The end links are a little diffrent.The given sizes given in Jegs are:
2 5/8, 2 7/8, 3 3/8, 1 5/8, and 4 1/2. Which size do I need? I have know idea how to tell. I have posted on the suspension forum twice in the past and I have yet to get a response, so I thought that I would trythis forum. Can anyne help me out? Like

PLEASE don't post "suspension" questions on LT1/LT4 Engine Tech.

Did you try measuring yours?

I measured the length... and its much longer than any of the givin amounts. And dude nobody responds to threads in that forum. The suspension forum has very few posts.I post and reply on this ofrum all the time and simply want advice when I have a problem or question. It seems like nobody knows the answer to my problem. I know that people are running polyurethane end links on their sways bars. 98 ss bars on a 94 Z. Shouldnt be hard to answer for someone who has been doown this road before.

We post questions on the correct forum. Period.

You had already posted your question previously on BOTH the "Suspension...." and "LT1/LT4 Engine Tech" forums. You got pretty much the same answer on your earlier post:

If you want to argue about how the forums are set up and moderated, its just using up the time that I could otherwise take to go out to the garage and get the part number off the install instructions for my Energy Suspension end link instruction sheet...... Do you want to argue, or do you want help?

Help, definetly. It seems like the deminsions that i need are impossible to find. So, I will help in anyway that I can. Numbers would be great. Didnt mean to step on the moderaters toes with any of my comments but I want to order the parts and I dont know the precise part that I need, so I guess I"m just kinda frustrated

The online ES parts listing shows the correct part number as 9.8118 for all 1993-2002 F-Bodys.

Are you measuring the length of the bolt or the length of the sleeve?

I went into my surplus parts pile and found the 4 original end links that I removed from the front and rear sway bars when I installed the ES Master set. All 4 links had the same bolt length (7-1/4") and the same sleeve length (2-1/2" including the integral washers). Then I found my stock sway bars - no longer on the car - and the front end links from ES had 7-1/4" bolts slightly larger in diameter than the stockers (0.371" vs. 0.345") and the sleeves were 2-7/8" alone, and including the separate washers were 3-1/6". Interestingly, the ES end link sleeves for the rear bar were shorter than the ES front sleeves, closer to 2-5/8".

The sway bar needs to be roughly parallel to the ground. It doesn't matter if the sleeve length changes by +/- 1/2".

Thanks for the replys. i ordered some from BMRs web site. They had a front and rear sway bar kit. I opted for the larger ss bar bushings. I never found out the actual size but its prolly the ones that you guys posted. I appreciate the replies
