Default WTB: Front Sway Bar End Link

i came across trying to lower my car by installing coilovers, but when trying to remove it, i ended up stripping the part where the allen wrench is needed. so now im goin to just saw i off the put the new one onto there..then hope the other side isnt as hard as the drivers side. so just to reiterate, i need a front sway bar end link from the drivers side if it makes a difference. also, i dont think it makes a difference, but its from a 92 sc300.

yup i ended up just buying both of them. they were shot anyways. there was an annoying clunking coming from them when i hit bumps, and my car was all over the place. i still havent had a chance to replace them yet. that seemed to be the only one giving me hell at the time.

heres a thought why dosent someone try to fit an adjustable after market end link that is probably a lot more stronger then the factory one seems to me the whole suspension on the sc needs an aftermarket upgrade

seriously! and something that wont rust or get stuck so hard. daizen should make some since they got pretty much the suspension thing goin on for our cars..its funny how this is basically turning into a regular thread rather than a classified thread..haha
