Hi guys!

I have PSS10's fitted. My stabilzer bars are shot. Bilstein doesn't sell them separately.

What are my options as length is not the same as OEM bars.

Thanks.

Use the drop down menu to locate the correct links for the PSS10.

 

Yep, I'm using tarret drop links after the ball joint went bad on the bilsteins

 

Go with the adjustable TRG (curved) front DLs and Tarett or TRG rear.

 

Terminator,
Same thing happens to many of us who convert from OEM struts to Bilstein PSS10. The end links are a design flaw. Mine came apart at the top joint left side within months, and this after only moderate back road driving. My search for alternatives that were both reasonably priced and most importantly, designed to stay quiet, turned up adjustable end links made by "powergrid". I've had mind installed now for 3 days. So far they are performing as advertised. Not sure that they are suitable for the tract, but then neither are PSS10's. Take a look, they might be an alternative to the more expensive track rated end links that are well thought of but also tend to make noise. My car is lowered to approximately 25 1/2" all four corners, aligned and corner balanced. Based on the existing Bilstein links, I ordered 9 1\2" front end links and 4" rears.

If you're a bit mechanically inclined you can order up rod ends and hardware to make your own. These can be excellent quality and very inexpensive to make. If not, drop links are very expensive for what they are and come with a heavy Porsche Tax. They are available from several suppliers.

Any idea what size the bolts need to be? I am needing adjustable links.

 

Take a look at Powergridinc.com. No affiliation. My Powergrid links were spec'd at 9" oc bolt to bolt fronts and 4" oc bolt to bolt rears. Chip Minich is the proprietor. 586-484-7185 call him for sizing if you are unsure. The prices are less than half of what you would spend on track rated units. If you plan on tracking your car then the Powergrids units may not be adequate, but I would ask Chip first.

This is interesting. Apparently Bilstein revised the drop links.

Pay attention to the angle change.

 

Those revised front drop links appear to have come out in 2011 and appear to be what broke at the top ball joint on my 2014 stock PSS10's. The angle change in the rod section would appear to be engineered to reduce the stress on the top ball joint, as clearance isn't an issue on my car. The problem seems to be the strength or lack thereof of the ball joint.

 

Same size front and back?

 

Bilstein only provides new fronts. I am not sure about the back size but I can tell you they are stock.

 

I made a fuss with Bilstein Germany. I've argued that their rod ends were engineered badly hence the failure. I've told them that consequently I believe I am entitled to the upgraded version. Will keep you posted...
