Holly RUST! AWR rear sway&endlinks
talk about serious rusting on the endlink bolts and joints.
wtf?! it hasn't even snowed yet here in chicago!!! |
I ran across the same problem when i put in my coilovers. the front ones came loose with lots of penetrating oil, the rear ones i got pissed at and cut with oxy-aceteline. hope you have better luck.

I have the 21.5mm bar and my "adjustable" endlink blocks are rusted so bad I can't adjust the bar. Some type of anti rust grease when installing the bar would have probably prevented this....god I'm stupid!!
|
dang AWR!!! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrr!!!
|
I put alot of grease on every part that didn`t have that gold colour. After 2 summer months, no rust.. hopefully it'll stay that way.(crosses fingers)
|
sedanman- SMART move! i sprayed wd40, but it washed off. :(
anyone wanna buy my COMPLETELY RUSTED AWR parts? :lol: |
hmm couldnt u just sand them? or are they rusted through or something? :p

I've been hitting mine with WD-40 about twice a month...hopefully this inhibits the rust.
I'll let you know in a few months :D |
i would highly recommend greasing them, not wd40. it's not enough.
|
why doesn't AWR do something about this,
you guys should email them and complain . |
#1 problem is that the screws an pieces are seized..can't take them off the car now.

I should be getting my sway bar soon. What grease would you suggest or would anti-seize do the trick.
