you mean the swingy link things that hang down from the frame broke? that's pretty expectable with the aftermarket bars on stock links. you can get upgraded links from here http://www.blehmco.com/suspension.htm# 2nd product from bottom. they install w/ bolts but it's best to weld them on.

Agreed.. anything stronger than the factory bar will destroy the links. Get the links from blehmco, they are overkill, but they will never break!

Get the Blehmco links, I ordered them when I bought all my suspension mods and they're pretty good. Just make sure you weld them in place of the old ones and not bolt them, it just doesnt seem too sturdy by bolting it down.

did you guys weld the links in yourselves?

I've had the RSB links from BlehmCo since FOREVER! I haven't installed them because I can't find a way to weld them in.

I've asked auto shops if they do it, but they've told me that "it's not a maintenance work" so they don't do it. I thought it was weird, but considering "liability" stuff, i guess they have a point.

Any suggestions?

I have had my Blehmco endlinks on for more than a few months now and they hold up just fine without being welded on. Also my first 3rd gen I had the same setup without welding and they were fine for a long time(years), so you dont HAVE to weld them to use them.

The last set I had welded on at a muffler shop took about 10 minutes. I asked how much the guy wanted and he pointed at the gas station next door.. "buy me a coke and we're cool"

Good to know. Mine have been installed for awhile, but I still need them welded.
