JIC/CROSS Help!

I have broken both sway bar links on my car, would anyone have the specs for the ball ends, I know most would just change the whole link but I am selling the car and just want a cheap fix, TIA.

If you want a cheap fix, order a pair of OEM links, have them cut then rewelded to the correct length. You cannot replace the ball joints only as JIC does not use adjustable spherical rod ends.

Don't waste you time and money on moding stock drop links. Get the real adjustables that won't break and get rid of preload

Duane, these are the adjustable drop links that come with the Cross Coilovers, not OEM, I just need the rod ends, I have emailed Cross many times without any answers. Thanks for the answer anyways. Looks like I will just buy new units, saves all the headaches, anyone else got the Tarett drop links?

Like he said above, quit wasting your time with a company that doesnt
stand behind its products (Cross).

Buy the Tarrets and be done with it.
Purchase both fronts and rears, they are indestructible and bolt on directly.

I have AP links and they've been fine....

Have to give Dan credit for not pushing his product when he could have, but honoring the OP's goal of being cheapest possible option....
