This is why you need to inspect your end link bushings!

As promised, I installed new rear end links and did a write-up. Enjoy!

So 98120R is the part# for the front end. What's the part number for the rear?
And why do you need to cut the sleeve? If you need to cut it, wouldn't it be because you're using the wrong part #?
I saw 98105R for the rear in this thread:

But that's the bushings only. I need the bolts and the bushing. I snapped every single endlink on the car.

Unless you've got an aftermarket rear sway bar, you'll have to get a factory rear link.

HOLY CRAP that wasn't fun. I installed these last night, the passenger side was CAKE, just make sure you have a pry bar and a dremel with a good stone cutting wheel (the paper thin ones that break if you handle them roughly are awesome). The drivers side, well that was another story. The whole link was fused solid, the sheath was fused to the bolt itself. It took me a few hours with a sawsall, utility blade to get the top off, and finally a TORCH to get the bottom.
I don't notice a huge difference, but all the bushings on my lower control arm are shot as well as the tie rods. I'm still glad I did it, as these were about to snap in another month, easily.
