For Tunatruck, I desire a readily available short swaybar endlink which has at least one end on a balljoint at a right angle to the axis of the endlink itself.
Like this:
The other end can be the same, or it can be a balljoint without the right angle.
I need a few different vehicles to check the lengths of to see if there is one out there short enough for my plan.
Thanks in advance!!
Power Grid Inc offers a variety of adjustable ball jointed end links. Not a canoe but a user (on my SVX) and Chip the owner is a stand-up guy!

OK that place is crazy expensive... BUT I believe gives an excellent list of that style endlink which I can cross reference.
THANK YOU
These might also be useful. We have a couple of different lengths.

Can you perhaps tell me the stock length for Miatas of varying generations?

aww crud, just noticed the misspelling in the title
I do not have a list of all stock lengths for all Miatas handy. But for that style of end link, you're looking at NB/NC/ND. One of the ND ones is super-short, about as short as possible.
Late model Nissans often use links in the 2-3 inch range.

Does anyone have one of those to measure?
I may be misunderstanding your original post... but I think these would work:
They are for a Saturn rear swaybar. Moog ones are mega tough and sell for like $7.

Nope, you got it. That is on the list, I just need some lengths without resorting to measuring ones in the parking lot.
The one you posted looks a lot like an AE92 rear endlink, except in your pic the endlinks don't seem to be a full 180deg apart. The front endlinks are similar (and even shorter) but both balljoints face in the same direction.

I'll be under an NB Miata in the next few days and will measure if someone else doesn't get those first.
Front link for a 92-02 Corolla, and others as big as the Avalon. I've got one kicking around somewhere, I'll dig it out and update with measurement.
EDIT: 60 mm between centers, M10 studs.
Moog problem solvers for my 2006 legacy are full metalic and seems pretty heavy duty.
Front has ball joint on either ends positions 180 degree apart. Rear have 2 ball joints on the same side.
I can crawl under the car tomorrow if need.
Saturn Vue rear endlinks have a balljoint on one side and a stud on the other, might be useful:

Why's no one mentioned cut and weld to length? or eve order some junk off McMaster Carr and make fancy spherical adjustable ones
Heim joints and allthread from a hardware store.

Fancy spherical ones A) Don't last as long, B) Are more expensive, and C) Don't look OEM (and that is important here)
