Racing Beat Sway Bar End Links
1989-1997 Miata Front / 1998-2004 Rear)
Our popular Racing Beat-designed Miata sway bar end links are a direct swap with the Miata factory links for all 1990-1997 Miatas (front and rear) and 1998-2004 (rear) and provide the ability to set either front or rear Miata sway bars to a "neutral position" while the chassis is at ride height to avoid pre-loading of the bar. The experienced enthusiast may wish to purposely "pre-load" the sway bar to create a specific handling characteristic to induce either a mild understeer or oversteer condition.
Although the stock end links were well suited for use with the original Miata sway bar, installation of a stronger, stiffer aftermarket Miata sway bar may accelerate the end link wear. This is particularly true if you're still using the tired, old factory installed units.
Adjustability range: 117mm (4.6") - 107mm (4.2") approx.
The Racing Beat sway bar end links feature sleek designed CNC-machined aluminum end housings and are fitted with urethane bushings to further reduce flexing - as compared to softer stock rubber bushing links. The end link mounting sleeve is fabricated from 4130 chrome moly steel tubing, then heat-treated during the manufacturing process to ensure superior strength and longevity. We prefer the use of our design as compared to Heim or ball joint design due to the slightly more forgiving nature of the urethane components used on the Racing beat links. The urethane bushing material absorbs road vibration and harshness as compared with more rigid and unforgiving Heim-joint ball style ends. If you use your car as a daily-driven vehicle, in the long run we believe you'll appreciate the Racing Beat end links.
While other vendors base their endlinks on an inexpensive OE style end link and then seperate the ends and weld and adjustment sleeve in place, we put the emphasis on the strength and integrity of the actual end link housing, sleeve and bushing. Our end links are fully adjustable and can easily be adjusted with the links installed on the car. We've sold 1000's of these end link sets over the past 30 years and we've found that the vast majority of Miata owners install their links, adjust them once, and never touch them again.
Each set contains two (2) complete end links to serve one (1) sway bar. These end links have been designed for use on the Mazda stock bar, all Racing Beat sway bars, and comparable aftermarket bars.
