Review on Beck Arnley 101 5772 Stabilizer Link by Samuel Blakeley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Some modifications required

I bought these end links to go with a Hotchkis stabilizer bar upgrade for my 2002 IS300. Nothing compares to the surprise you get after you've already removed all the parts from a car, only to find that the new parts don't fit. These end links look well built and are much stronger than standard end links. The top end fits snugly into the stabilizer and articulates firmly but smoothly. But that's where the good ends. The bottom end should rest in the recess in the rear lower links. Space within the wishbone is 48mm, as is the length of the end rod bushing. But the sleeve bushing on these links has a length of 50mm. I mean it's not even close. Luckily I have access to CNC routers at work, so I milled 1mm from each end of the hub shell. The installation then proceeded without further problems. These end links would be fine if it weren't for the mismatch problem. So take some measurements before you start cutting like I did.

Pros
  • Comes with necessary components and hardware for complete installation
Cons
  • Nothing
