blaise2212 · July 11th, 2011, 05:38 AM

Ive been driving my car without the front stabilizer links for about a month now and no problems. I want to know if i continue to keep driving without them will there be any problems in the long run. Are they necessary to have on ?

Don't know for sure but I would expect it could cause abnormal tire wear especially when cornering....but that is just a guess.

you can roll with stabilizer links broken...i have done it for a couple of months

i have the new stabilizer links ordered but i cant get the old ones off for shit. i wen to the dealer and they wanted 100 bucks to take them off. fuck that. i tried everything to get them off i even started drilling them out and after 2 days of drilling and not getting through i said fuck it.

what it takes is patience...those things are rusted to death so 1rst you will need some WD-40 or some seafoam to lubricate. 2nd you will need to add some lenght to you ratched so it gives you more power, you can do that by putting a wrench key at the end of you ratchet handle. Now the whole assembly can turn so you need to use some grip pliers to hold the part with a rubber on it. Just be patient and you will get rid of that.

I've been driving with only one for over 2 yrs now, with no tracking problems or out of the ordinary tire wear. Damn Eclipses' geometry put a lot of stress on them once they're lowered. The endlink broke the tab on my coilover. Too bad that guy who made the adjustable ones didn't work out. I wish I would of picked up a set when he was around. Did both of them break on you?
