k2blt Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 so i've been informed that my endlinks are cause of the ruckus coming from underneath my car... at times it sounds like someone is playing whack a mole under there. i've done my search, but couldn't come to any conclusion. i'm sort of in a rush, so i was wondering what people are suggesting. i was informed that stock subaru endlinks go for $65 a pop... not even for a pair. i checked out the avo, and it states it's for a lowered car. i'm running stock suspension, and don't see myself going to coilover's anytime soon. i considered cobb, perrin, and a few others. are these worth buying? thanks in advance for any help!

Jim_KT Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The AVO units can be adjusted. They worked great on my vehicle and their Heim joints are a lot stiffer than the stock units. All was well until one of the dust boots sheared away from the mounting stud. In the end I went with KartBoys due to their great reviews and poly-type bushing instead of a Heim joint. No regrets here. They are worth buying. Take a look at the KartBoys. Although they are slightly shorter in length than OEM, they should not adversely impact your suspension. They're $200 MSRP for a front and rear set. If you purchase just the fronts or rears they go for $115. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2blt Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 thanks for the quick response... i considered the kartboys as well. they're being sold for a reasonable price, so i think may go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaWolverine Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I think the cobbs I have are contributing to the noise I have, so I'm switching to Kartboy. I've heard great things about Kartboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06jax2.5se Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 how come the OEM, AVO and Whiteline endlinks look different than the Kartboy ones?? The kartboys look like endlinks that go on the WRX/STi! Just curious. Is this KB-017StiCombo - Front & Rear Endlinks For STi,Fxt,Lgt ($ 200.00) what everyone has got????

The OEM, AVO and Kartboys still have the "dog bone" shape to them. The part number that you listed is the right one for our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaWolverine Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Some people have no problem with their cobbs. I know the sways are installed correctly and I've greased the bushings and joints, but for some reason I still get noise so I'm gonna get the kartboys, but I'd still like to get a better idea of what's going on.

The part number that you listed is the right one for our cars. i was about to post up all sorts of pictures showing that the OEM, AVO, and Whiteline endlinks look the same where as the Perrin, Agency Power, Cobb, and maybe the kartboy endlinks look similar in nature but then i found this thread! http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68820&highlight=endlinks Definatly tells you that there is a difference! Looks like i will be going with the Kartboys also. I havent read one bad thing about them yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_KT Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 ^^^^^^^ Agreed, there IS a difference. What I meant to convey was that they look similar in shape, but that is where their similarities end. I thought that you looked at the WRX horseshoe shaped endlinks and thought that they were for the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that you looked at the WRX horseshoe shaped endlinks and thought that they were for the LGT. i was looking at the kartboy website....i guess that they use a "stock" photo of just one type on endlink that they offer but it might not be the LGT ones!

You're right, they just use a WRX rear endlink as a generic photo. I can take pictures of the rear endlinks on my LGT if you're concerned as to whether or not the LGT/STi units will work. Trust me, they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psucaptainkickass Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 -1 on AVO...if you want less noise don't go with them. I had noise and someone else had noise... Anyone in vendor classifieds selling used endlinks? I am lowered with Cusco sways and I have had zero issues with the stockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll snap a picture of the rears. Unfortunately, my car is still running the OEM fronts. Just imagine the rears, but shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN 2.5i Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I like my MSI endlinks... a lot. Just looking at them, you know they're going to make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2ip Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Do you have a picture for them? And where did you buy them from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN 2.5i Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 got my MSI endlinks from another member here - but if MSI has specials currently, contact them. First link shows the bottom of a rear and second shows the front, running a spacer (provided) to correct the endlink alignment. Not sure if current offering requires the spacer or not - query MSI to be sure.

Neurodancer Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 IIRC, Cobb is discontinuing their Endlinks. From what I heard, they were getting too many complaints for noise. I installed the Cobbs in conjunction with Cobb Sways and initially had problems with clunks. The problem went away when I tightened them with all my weight.

j2ip Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 CDN 2.5i, Thanks for respond, it looks durable than other. Also, it uses bushing other than bearing. I think that what I am looking for. Hi Neurodancer, Thanks for your post. It is help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
