What's Inside Matters - Sway Bar Links | MOOG Parts

MOOG hybrid sway bar links are a combination of socket-style and bolt-style links.  These links include both the features of MOOG socket-style links as well as the features of MOOG bolt-style links.

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit our website.

The hybrid design also includes a stop out at the end of the threads that minimizes sensitivity to installation torque – just tighten fully. With the nut seated fully against the stop, the bushings are preloaded to provide excellent durability. The washer and nut are designed to stop out directly on the connecting rod.

I need some help re: front stabilizer bar assemblies. The attached photo shows 6 drop links (3 sets). One set (2 drop links) has the rubber bushings, as you can see. I have several questions:

First, upon close examination, i realized that one end of all 6 drop links is 'bent' a few degrees on all of the drop links. Are the drop links supposed to be 'bent' on one end?

Second, I also noticed that two of the drop links are about 3-4mm shorter than the others. Which length is correct for what car? (911, 912, 914?)

Third, assuming that one end of the drop links is supposed to be 'bent' (since they all have the same characteristic) which end is the top when they get installed?

Thanks in advance to the registry community. I always appreciate the collective knowledge that is out there.

Yes they are supposed to be bent and I think the bent goes to the top. There is a post about this about a year of two ago so if you do a advance search for "drop link" you should fined it. Second question I have no answer will check main tonight. The length my have something to do with the diameter of the stabilizer bar This information was taken from the ESB.
measured the links from my 67 and 72, the 67 is 9 3/8th" center to center, the 72 is 8 13/16th". If I had to guess at a reason I'd say since the SWB cars seem to sit a little higher in front than the LWB cars, Porsche used a longer drop link to keep the sway bar arm more in the center of it's arc. For example when you lower the front you need to shorten the drop link to keep the sway bar arm from being pushed up to far and being near the end of the arc of travel.
Hope this answers some questions
