To use or not use zero lash end links on the back? (Page 2/2) WKDFIRO FEB 15, 11:18 PM 1988 Formula, 290k miles, urethane bushings on suspension all four corners, stock front sway bars with urethane bushings and zero lash links, rear sway bars with zero lash but with old rubber bushings. Stock 15 wheels with stock size tires. I can't really say that I would be able to judge improvements since it was missing a passenger's side front end link when I got it. Until I got underneath to see what was going on, it was a handful on the freeway. So anything was an improvement when I put the zero lash in the front. When I got the 3.4 put in the rears got zero lash as well. For everyday driving, I can't feel a thing. If I do decide to whip it around it is nice and flat but I also don't push too hard until I upgrade the wheels and tires. It hasn't been on the mountain roads just yet but it feels pretty confident. This is the first 88 I've owned, the five other Fieros in my life were 85 GT, two 87 coupes and an 87 GT. The front sway bar on the Formula is huge compared to the stock 87 sway bars. The rear sway bar looks to be the same size as the coupe bars and I'm sure its with good reason. I'm happy with the zero lash in that I've seen the urethane rot away which surprised me as I thought they were supposed to outlast the car. Zero lash seems like its going to be around for a very long time. Mswilcher APR 04, 10:23 PM Peripheral question here.... I have zero lash end links front and rear on my 88 3800 SC car. Stock otherwise front and rear except for coilovers in rear. Currently moving to the c4 rotors all around and noticed the rubber boots on the end links in the rear were cracked or torn. These have only been on the car for under a year and probably less than a thousand miles. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, possible fixes. RD is great and has already offered to send new ones out but I would like to prevent it from happening again. Really considering going back to regular end-links in the rear after reading some accounts here. Thank you all.

Mine have been on two of my Fieros for years... and I've never looked at them (closely) since they were installed. I've often wondered what condition they're in.
