DIY - Rear Swaybar and Endlinks - Perrin

Houston86.com back with another DIY guide. Today we are covering the install of @PERRIN's 16mm Rear Swaybar and Endlink. Although it is Perrin centric, this applies to most vendor's products.

For comprehensive pictures of the items, theory, review, etc check out this thread
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22020

This install was pretty easy. You don't need expensive niche items. Just basic hand tools, jack stands, and a floor jack. Definitely feel more confident that the car will be able to handle more power when those options come out.

Please use this guide in addition to the service manual and the vendor's official instructions.

As always I am not responsible for damage done to yourself or your vehicle. Always remember to be safe.

You could raise your car on a lift. Kept it simple going with Jack stands; they give plenty of height to get in there.

Perrin does not say to grease the faces of the spacers. I chose to do this because I think metal on metal contact will create noise. Like any urethane bushing, you will have to periodically check and regrease

Perrin does not say to grease the outside of the swaybar bushing. I chose to do this because the OEM bushing was greased that way. Like any urethane bushing, you will have to periodically check and regrease

I should add the hardware is supplied with the kit. As for torquing the bolts, I started with the Rear Swaybar, then the control arm, last the endlink/swaybar connection

Great write up as usual. Will you be supercharging this car? Looking forward to that write up if so.

Do your really need new end links when just replacing the sway bars. My car is not lowered, and none of its suspension components are changed. Wouldn't the stock end links be fine?

I think for normal driving it should be fine. If you drive it hard (say auto-crossing or road racing) then you run the risk of the stock endlinks bending under the increased stiffness of the swaybar.

I know it's been like 2 years and change,but here goes nothing. If i only get the rear Perrin 16mm sway bar and only use the softest setting (only 130% the stiffness of the original sway bar) would i be fine using stock endlinks? I feel like the OEM end links wouldn't really have a huge problem with ony 30% more stiffness... I'm only interested in changing the rear sway bar right now, and I only want a tiny bit more stiffness in the rear to dial out some of the understeer that the car exhibits during short and tight autocrosses. Am I on the right track? (no pun intended) @F1point4

I'd say using the stock endlinks will be OK to use with our 16mm bar. It'd still work better with upgraded endlinks though. If you're looking to pick up one of those bars, send me a PM, thanks!

Sorry to revive an old thread, but will this install affect my camber? No need for alignment again after right?

The bar is for less body roll, it won't affect camber. Shouldn't affect alignment either.

Necroing a useful thread. Has anyone use the Perrin endlink on the stock sway bar? If so, how did you setup the spacers in the rear LCA?
