Stock end links on modified suspension

[mcvaughan]

I ran into a problem on the track. Suspension is JRZ RS Pro with numerous SPL bits, but stock end links up front (and stock sways). Long story short, found an end link come loose and damaged the strut. My mechanic thinks there wasn't enough sway bar travel with lowered suspension, hence coming off when aggressively going over some curbing. Strut off to JRZ for repair and having SPL make some adjustable links. When I first heard it I thought I just picked up something on the track, only later to discover it was much more than that. After talking to Joe at Trinity Autosport he's seen it happen a couple of times before, with those using stock end links.

Yikes, sorry to hear this! .. This is why I got GC adjustable endlinks with right (shortened) length for JRZ shocks.

Yep. I have Fall line endlinks on my JRZ's since day one.

You can get the sway bar mounts that aren't welded to the shock also. They just thread on the shock body.

Similar to this:

Just an update on this. JRZ has a revised version of the end link mounts (not exactly sure what's different yet). There's been several issues like this seen, so JRZ is good-willing the fix. The other front shock going to JRZ for the revision as well.

New JRZ RS Pro end link mount design.

Nice, I'm also excited building my suspension. I just bought trackm4 new SPL front sway bar end link and his Toe Link. I'll have it installed once I pick up an after market sway bar and an SPL rear sway bar end link. Currently I have the JRZ RS Pro, front Fall Line Mono balls, Dinan rear end link kit and Fall Line rear end steel bushings. I know, she has a Frankenstein suspension set up. Lol. I like to think I'm done w/ my rear and now on to finishing the front. I know I'm a little biased because she's mine, but she already handles like a dream at the track. I pray Lol. that I don't screw up an already more than capable suspension by adding this two other mods. Cheers.

All seems fine with the new mount and links. Now to deal with the 3 drivetrain malfunctions I had.

Does anyone know where you can find or buy this conical washer that is shown here?
