Looking for new front endlinks, hoping to get them tomorrow. Anyone know of a place that will have them in stock?

The closer to Yonge and Eglinton the better!

I'd also consider certain aftermarket ones if the price is right, I don't need adjustability, just need ones that are effed and seized.

Dealer. You'll have them next day.

Dealer fo sho.

Personally I go to Budds Subaru but that may be far for you. The parts guy at Budds is extremely fast and helpful.

If they are stocked at the local warehouse then you'll have them next day or two from the dealer. Otherwise like me when I buy various size nuts and bolts for suspension work, it usually takes 2 weeks shipped from Subaru Japan.

You can try the Toyota dealer as well but I find their prices are much higher for the same parts.

Front swaybar endlinks (both sides) with nuts (all 4), and one wheel stud (front if it matters).

I don't have the part number for the end links to cross reference against WRX parts or I would be looking at more places online. No one seems to show any useful parts for these cars yet.

Found everything in stock at C and C Subaru, which is right along my drive home anyway, picking it up tonight. Subaru is a bit cheaper on everything than Toyota, $28 vs $35 each for the end links and a couple dollars less on the stud too.

Good to hear. They are a good dealership to deal with for parts and sales.

I got there after parts closed last night, but the sales guy nearby was super helpful even though he knew I clearly wasn't there to buy a new car.

Mine are seized too - how did you get them off? I'm looking at cutting with a dremel..

wparsons · 05-17-2014, 12:30 PM

You can try heating them up to try loosening up the rust, but I ended up having to sawzall mine off. I don't think you'll get a dremel into the right place to cut them, the discs are too small.

If you can, try really soaking them in penetrating oil a few times before resorting to cutting. The trouble is that you need to get them partially loosened or cutting is a HUGE pain in the ass. Might help to clean up the threads with a wire brush too. I could get mine partially loose, but not all the way off. By the time I thought about trying a wire brush I had already damaged the end link too much anyway, so I was already ready to replace them.

Heat works best
You'll also need a pair of vise grips
You'll feel a disc like projection between the nut and the link itself. Put that vise grip on it so it prevents it from spinning while you're trying to loosen the nut.
I was able to zap one side out with just the vise grips.
Other side I had to heat it up a bit before it would come out.
