I have to replace a tie rod end - guess I'll replace the pair. While under the car I noticed the bushings on the sway bar link don't look so good. So I'm thinking of replacing that pair too. On the FCPGroton site it says that the link is either lollipop or threaded on both ends. Mine is threaded only on top - does that just mean it's been replaced previously with an aftermarket? It's definitely not lollipop. Looks like an easy job, but any advice on the tie rod ends or sway bar link appreciated. Should I order the separator tool for the tie rod ends? I notice the top of the tie rod ends have no threads, totally rusted (northeast Ohio). Thanks.

    Bonzo.. Where are you in NE Ohio? I live in Warren, Ohio and i just did a rack and pinion on my 90 740GL. Got to know the front end fairly well. Maybe i can lend a hand.

    sway bar links; the differences depend on what type of control arm you have. Both ends the same are used with aluminum arms with a hole as part of the casting that the link goes through, and sandwiches that area of the control arm.
    lollipop style is used with a steel control arm, which has a bolt into the front area of the control arm to attach the link. So it's maybe better described as, upside down lollipop.
    They are not interchangeable/swappable unless changing the control arm.
