Looking to buy 88 rear sway bar and links
« on: May 16, 2022, 11:03:25 am »
Down to the last few parts I need for my swap. I think someone makes an aftermarket 88 bar if I have to go that route but it looks like I’m going to have to hunt down some links at least. I’m also looking for an 84 econo 4 speed trans (my8)

There was a guy named Paul Hosler who was doing the aftermarket sway bars. I'm not sure if he still is, however. End links shouldn't be too difficult. They're pretty generic.
Do you need the brackets that bolt to the struts? I think someone was doing those, too. I'm poking around...

Yes. Brackets was what I meant to say. Thanks!

If you can't find any, contact Todd at The Fiero Farm.  todd@thefierofarm.com   Last weekend, I thought he said he had an 88 cradle laying around.  May have one in one of the many parts cars, too.

Roger Thelin is/was making them.
There were $50 a pair, in 2020. Not sure about now.
His email is thelinsells@cox.net Also in the thread.

I have 2 sets of Roger's brackets. They are pretty good quality.   Those brackets are almost impossible to find anymore.

My white Fiero came with a rear sway bar, but no end links (the bar wasn't being used). I bought some generic end links at AutoZone. The pipe that separates the upper and lower parts of each link was a bit too long, so I cut them to the proper length (compare with another Formula or 88 GT), and they worked just fine.
The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

Todd has it reasonably priced. I planned on driving out to pick them up but was in for a shock when I plugged it into GPS. Going to see what shipping will be.

Yes, I drove down there last week.  12 hour round trip.  Cheaper than shipping a complete exhaust system, though.
