Rumor has it these are back ordered for 3 weeks through you guys? Is that an AWR back order to where nobody has them or what's going on. My passenger side racing beat end link broke and I'm shredding my dang tires.

It's true. No one has them, not even AWR. They have been waiting for some parts from one of their vendors in order to complete the latest batch. As soon as the parts come in, we'll be the first to receive them.

You could get some stock ones to hold you over. At least then you won't be hurting the tires as much.

My Racing Beat endlinks are breaking too, so I've been driving my beater everywhere and I'm sick of it! lol

Not having a rear swaybar should not be doing any damage to your tires, many cars have never had rear swaybars and they don't shred tires.

In the meanwhile, AC Delco makes some fairly sturdy replacements for the stock links that so far on my car haven't broken like my RB ones did.

The AWR's are expensive and are gonna be noisy as hell with the solid end links.

Yeah my right end link is broken....like the thing hangs 1"-1.5" below where is supposed to bolt up broken lol. I'll probably submit the order and just wait and be careful until they come in. As for using the stock end links I have no idea where they are as I chucked the stock bar when I put the RB bar in.

I'm not saying it's the reason my tires are shredding but only my rear driver side tire rubs on turns/bumps so I wasn't sure if maybe this could be a cause. Where can I get those AC Delco's at?

You can get them at almost any auto parts store. Do a Google search.

I was going to get these, but I'm afraid the AC Delcos will break like the RBs did. Thoughts?

I put the AC Delcos on the rear after one of my RB links tore apart (thanks to Donny from RPM for getting me a full refund for them, BTW).

The Delcos are definitely better made than the OEM links, and while they might not look quite as beefy as the RB ones, from my experience with the RB links apperances can be deceiving.

Frankly, at the present time you have few other choices except the expensive and noisy (and high maintenance) AWR solid links.

I giot mine from a local jobber who handles AC Delco products, Give them the part numbers and they can order them. Anyone who sells AC Delco should be able to do this for you. You could also order them online from Rock Auto.

45G0455 - Right Front @$28.79
45G0454 - Left Front @$28.79
45G0456 - Rear (same for both sides) @$34.79

quoted prices are from Rock Auto's online catalog Rock Auto Online

I just bit the bullet and bought the AWR end links. I figure I can wait another week or two for the best links.

Rumor has it that some AWR endlinks are on the way to RPM.
