need yous guys opinion on a sway link

does anyone have or tried the perrin endlink before? i was looking to buy one to replace my broken endlink and was unsure about it. i like the idea that it doesn't have a ruber/polyurethane or what-ever-it-is bushings. i had and aftermarket endlink but the darn thing busted the bolt that holds the the sway bar to the endlink. not only did the bolt busted out but the bushing came out with it also. so to prevent bushings from going bye-bye again i opt for a bushing-less link. i know it's priced a little more than others but i'm willing to pay the extra just for those reasons. any opinion, ideas would be wondahful. thanks

What purpose do endlinks serve, and what makes upgraded endlinks, well, upgraded? Strength?

They're are supposed to further enhance the action of a stock or upsized sway bar, reduce body roll and for the rear, allow for even more oversteer on hard cornering.

FWIW, Kartboy used to make a link similar to the Perrin link using spherical bearings instead of urethane bushings. I was constantly retightening these links as they would make clicking sounds when they loosened up. I have since changed over to the "new" style Kartboy links and highly recommend them.

Just avoid the Whitelines. You know, the ones that look like big paper clips that snap in two if exposed to inclement weather.
