Ball jointed sway bar links

To be freed from the restraints of the four rubber bushes,
I made the sway bar link into a ball joint,
and I extended the link to make the connection point of the sway bar rotation fulcrum and the sway bar link closer to horizontal.
I got an excellent ride.

Do you have a parts list for making that end link???
what is the grade of the steel used in the green turnbuckle?

I bought this at amzon.co.jp.
The screws are a little short, but
It's working fine so far.
It seems like similar general-purpose parts can be procured anywhere.

I'd say that stiffened it up a bit.

Later ZJ's came with something similar but the ball joints always go bad.

In situations where you only want one leg to move, such as when passing through a pothole at high speed or going over a step on the sidewalk on the side of the road, I get the impression that one leg is moving well.
There has certainly been a slight increase in feedback regarding the wheel track,
By the time you empty a full tank of gas, you won't be able to tell.
I get the impression that my feet have become softer overall.
I think this is because the load that twists and bends the four rubber pieces is gone.
Ball joints do make clicking noises when they deteriorate, so I'm concerned about their lifespan.
So far, I've been doing well for 3 months.

This very interesting, i’m so fed up with replacing sway bar links. They seems to start knocking after one good off-road trip. I wonder if this will hold up better.

It's still going well.

This was done at 120N・m.

In Japan, there are many short, narrow and slow forest roads,
but there are very few flat dirt roads.
Therefore, I have not tried long distance or high speed off-roading.

I need to find and try such off-roading.

I'm gonna have to order a set of these and try them out. I'm tired of replacing my front sway bar links with it mainly just driving on the street. Yes, I am at a reasonable level for the front (22.3 from center of the wheel to the fender.) for those thinking I might have it sitting too high.
