You can always make your own using male female Aurora heim joint ends, rolled thread stud material, metric bolts and taper spacers along with nylock nuts.

^Yeah, but then dirt gets in them and they wear out fast... The whole point of the WL end links is that they're sealed, so they don't wear out fast

That's certainly true warmmilk. Incidentally, it seems that most of the end link options out there for the Evo X are of the spherical bearing type. Racing Line seems to be the only one that has polyurethane bushings to act as a dust boot and reduce NVH.



To date, most of the feedback I've found between all of the rear end links point to this one being one of the finer choices. I will most likely be trying these next. I would much rather clean a spherical bearing once a year than retighten end links every 100 miles.

how about I ask this question, how many people on here are running Whiteline endlinks with no issue?

You can also buy the rubber boots to go over them, fill them with grease and then no dirt will get it :-)

Here is a link to making custom Evo 8 rod end endlinks.....Evo X will be similar but you will have to measure overall length and get the correct adj center rod lengths

You can google the rod end boots easily FK Bearings makes them

Hi All,

We have seen this thread and we always like feedback either positive or negative to always improve our products.

We are now looking at these as it seems this is only the case on certain models of cars that this ever happens. We will trial different style washers and ways to keep then secure and will make changes as soon as we find a solution.

These joints are not failing or any part of the link so we just need to improve why they come loose on some cars and at this stage feel a few suggestions in this thread might be the way to go so thanks for the feedback.

If you do have any issues with links you have purchased we are great with our after sales/ customer service so do not hesitate to email us at support@whiteline.com.au and we will endeavor to solve any issue present.

Thanks !
