Whiteline Swaybar Links vs WL Pin Eye Link?

I got two options mounting my rear sway-bar links.

One is the Pin/Eye type (comes with the sway bar), the other option are the links shown in the picture (right).

The links on the right side have no bushings at all, how does that affect the operation of the sway bar?

Cheers!

don't worry, the 2x ball joint type are OEM style in lots of applications including GTR front.

 

They do wear out and start to bind or clunk though, and I guess are more expensive

I once was all over the suepr thick ARBs and all.... now wished I didn't bother upgrading them.. I have both my mine on the softest settings for track use.. the ARBs just made the car super duper twitchy and sketchy.

Even MCA said to use stock.

Because I'm stubborn and didn't listen I bought thick ones, and kept snapping the mounts that hold the links up front lol

What do you mean by super thick though?  Is that the 24mm territory or the 27mm territory?

24mm 24mm, wanted 27mm 24mm at the time using the SydneyKid methodology with super thick ARBs and shit soft spring rates. 

Guess that's good for street use, but track wise was aids.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
