Weltmeister sway bar help
I recently bought a 1975 911. It appears to have weltermeister sway bars front and rear. The front end links are quite worn and need to be replaced. I can't seem to find much info on these. Pelican seems to have the complete bar sets but I'm wondering if I can just get the end links somewhere?

They are just standard male rod ends. Take them out measure the size and then search for replacement. I do not if they are metric or standard.

Call Automotion. They made the bar. I just replaced mine this past spring.

looks like you have 914 drop links that welt makes, are sure they are bad? Remove the bolts and test. If shot then you can do the above or buy new links off pelican which are 99.

Thanks guys, theres quite a lot of wear in the links, my mechanic noticed it when doing the safety. I'll look into just replacing the rod ends. The car makes alot of noise on the road and the mechanic figured it was mostly to do with these worn links. Could be the delrin bushings too...

If you call Pelican Parts they can get the links. I have the same bar and our host got the replacement part that I needed.

McMaster-Carr has them -- both right and left threads. I'm pretty sure they're not metric. Cheaper than replacing the whole link.
