Shorter Stabilizer link for lowered Yari
Hey guys I measured my Tein Flex Z shorter links and they are 300mm to suit the much shorter tien shock strut.
The standard yari struts are longer than the short trd struts but have the same stabilizer link at 360mm. Right now I have to fully compress the springs to get it to fit, the Tien links only need about half compression before they could be bolted up. There is no trd links to suit the shorter trd struts which you think they would supply like other shorter shock lowering kits have. If we take the 40mm average lowering spring drop from the stabilizer link we should be running 320mm links or close to it and I have researched and found that standard honda jazz links will work for us. This should correct the front end lower sway bar geometry when running short shock struts and lowering springs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185090213578 Honda OEM part number: 51321-SAA-J01 Will see if i can find the dimensions of the different struts available. ALSO THIS IS JUST THEORY RIGHT NOW UNTIL TESTED, PLEASE DONT TRY AT HOME . Last edited by Compeer; 01-15-2023 at 02:39 AM. |

Also the Yaris has 12mm mounting holes, the Honda only has 10mm. That's why there are spacers that came with the adjustable one that I bought. I’m actually going back to the stock end links. I threw my old ones away since the boots were ripped, which I thought was the cause of my clunking noise. But ended up it was my ball joint after all. I got a set of Megan Racing extended ball joints to replace them. But that’s another story. Last edited by Neinris; 02-20-2023 at 10:52 AM. |

The flex z links did not make the sway bar hit, Maybe the trd shocks and other shortened shocks keep the stock link mount height unlike the flez tiens? |

I remember measuring the length of the sway bar mounting hole to the top mounting hole for the steering knuckle for the Bilstein B8 and stock strut, and they’re the same, around 6-5/16in. Might be lower for the Tein Flex Z if the 300mm aren’t making the sway bar hit the axles.
