Anyone Install Front Stabilizer Links - Length?

[Edge]

I just received an ACDelco p/n 45G113 and the spacer measures 3/8" shorter than the original. The kit looks like it sold under different brands such as Spicer. Otherwise, the kit parts look high quality with thick bushing retainers, urethane bushings, grade 5 bolt and a solid tube spacer (not rolled formed). It is listed as a performance kit. I would have went with the Nissan OEM, but they wanted $15 per side just for the bolt, plus all the bushings. Anyone install the link recently and compare the length or know if this link kit fits? Looks like the stabilizer bar would angle down slightly with this kit due shorter spacer length.

i installed mine but my spacers were about twice the size of the old ones got them from energy suspension turning is stiffer than a mofo now and i love it.

Thanks for the pic. Yep, your spacer definitely looks about 2x the length of the original 1 inch spacer. Your stab link looks pretty good and looks like urethane bushings to stiffen up the sway bar. How is the ride comfort, any different?

I did a little more research and it looks like the there are 185 other applications that use this Delco stabilizer link, so they may be consolidating kits and didn't use the exact size spacer. I have an email into Delco. This Delco kit is probably OK as long as there are no clearance problems. Performance should be OK, since the main stiffness comes from the relative twist of the sway bar and the urethane bushings. There will be a slight change in the effective radius of the lever arm of the sway bar with 3/8" height difference. I haven't calculated this yet but, should be a minor change in stiffness.

I think like Big E, when I got new ones recently the spacer was twice as long...unfortunately the new bolts weren't long enough to use them this way so I just sawed one in half and used the halves. Didn't think about the effect the longer spacer might have on handling, otherwise I'd have gotten longer bolts and used them as they came. Mine weren't from ES (and are just black rubber) but the new stab mount bushings were, and made of that red urethane.

stiff al li gotta say complements the stiff suspension setting as well.
