Selected User Reviews For Energy Suspension- 9.8118G END LINK SET WITH HARDWARE
Firebirds and a wide range of other GM vehicles need the part 8117g.
I ordered the same part number for front and rear end links for my 2002 Camaro Z28, and it fit perfectly. I found removing the old, stock end links to be the most difficult part of every installation. It is recommended that you replace both rears, with the rear axel loaded with jack stands under the end tubes, which will make access much easier . Remove the old end links, and install new end links finger tight before tightening. Install the new fronts before adjusting the front end on jack stands, with the wheels off. Remove the old ones and tighten them each finger-tight before adjusting the rears.
The front end rebuild of my 93 Z28 required the installation of this product. The fitting seems to be good and the appearance is good. I will get a better idea of performance after I get my front end aligned, however my initial test drives seem to be going well.
Because the energy suspension links use larger diameter bolts to secure their bar that is 7mm larger than stock, I enjoy the added security they provide. Various poly bushings are included in the kit. As a result, I get better feel and that in turn results in a shorter component life. I would say that it is a good purchase overall.
The design worked as intended.
