Those with upgraded rear sway bar

[Rbb1485]

Hi All,
How often do you re-grease the bushings on your upgraded rsb? Main reason for asking is that I plan on upgrading but can't decide on 034 vs eurocode, obviously with the 034 and their design with the grease fittings, it would make re-greasing much easier compared to EC where you'd have to unbolt the thing and "replace" hardware each time.

Please list:
- sway bar supplier:
- Time interval before it starts making noise (thus requiring grease application):
- Type of end link:

Thanks!

Factory, so far as I know.

I've had the full Eurocode setup for 2 yrs. I had some minor squeaks like 6 months ago....took it in and they regreased and I've been squeak free since. It wasn't a big deal at all really.

I have the 034 and I love it! If your planning on just the rear 034 is made to work with the factory front bar.

Never a squeak

The H&R bars come with completely greaseless bushings. The Hsport bars come with zerk fittings.

I was in the same shoe yesterday but ordered EC sways as I read overall good reviews. I will be using factory links. Trying to find H&R bushing and put those on EC bars to be maintenance free.

For $80 dollars you should get the Moog links for front and rear ...The stock ones are plastic! I was gonna keep stock, then saw the stock ones and decided to spend another $80 on the Moog links and do it once. Buy once, cry once is what I say... Good luck!

I have the EC F&R sways and end links . They have only been installed for 4 months but so far quiet. I'm hoping the stay that way thru the winter. The end links have dust/grease boots, but they were optional because EC is based in CA and they don't require the same protection in their climate... I almost opted for the 034 who has beautiful milled brackets and grease fittings which would make maintenance simple.

I had front and rear Eurocode sways and end links on my 2010 (without the boots) and after a couple of winters here in WI they made a lot of noise. If/when I go with aftermarket sways on my 2015 I will be going H&R and Moog end links. I loved the feel of the Eurocode setup, but in my experience they aren't the right equipment for extreme winters.

I am a Wisconsin guy myself - a little trick i learned a long time ago - wrap the sway bar in telflon tape where the bushing will go - that makes a huge difference and makes the sway bars silent.

H&R FTW no maintenance!!

Good advice, thanks! How do you like your Moog end links?

Ah, Phantom Black Pearl. My 2010 was PBP, now I'm Daytona Gray. Every time I see a pic of my old car, oh how I miss her.

I love the Moog end links - they are full metal and built 100 times better than the stock plastic end links. In Wisconsin, I would not recommend spherical end links for a s4 that is driven in the snow and EVIL salt ...You are just asking for issues. I have spherical end links on my 2003 cobra, but that is just a summer only car. phantom black pearl is amazing, when clean ...Hard to keep clean in winter, but I do have a heated garage and water in my garage so the s4 gets a handwash every week during the winter [emoji2]

Thank you, I will buy the moog links

Good choice! You won't regret it! [emoji2]

H&R RSB here. Several years now and not a peep.

My H&R bar has been in for 5 years. No maintenance. No noise. Greasing not required.

That sounds perfect. This is probably my next purchase.

[chi123]

I have a Eurocode F+R set for two years and haven't greased the bushings since I installed it.

[will13k7]

about 3 years on the EC sways and endlinks, greased everything up once. every once in awhile I get some noise, but it doesn't bother me enough anymore to continue to regrease. #becauseracecar

Does anyone make a fastener kit I can buy? Installing 034 RSB w/Moog this winter. I don't see any kit on ECS.

I went with the 034 bar and 034 endlinks. There is some significant "knocking" sounds as a result of using their endlinks. So be warned if you use their endlinks but the bar is a good choice.
