#33739, "3G/avenger rear suspension conversion. Will the rear link(the one with ball joint) fit?"
So I found a 3G eclipse in a local junk yard. I want to do a sway bar install on my Talon. The question is due to the mileage on my car I am thinking about updating other components. For now all I read was that the lower and upper control arms are a direct bolt on as well as sway bar. What about the rear link(part with ball joint) is that swappable too?
Another question can the rear suspension be swapped in from avenger(in case 3g eclipse I saw in junk yard does not have rear sway bar?

Thanks for your input.
I am getting an entire rear suspension from 3G, will there be anymore input from other members? I need to know now since the rubber boots on my rear links(part with balljoint)are completely broken the balljoint itself still has no play so I am looking to replace the whole part/boot b4 it's too late.

I have a 3G sway bar on my avenger. You have to either 1) make a 1/2" spacer where the sway bar mounts to the subframe or 2) swap to a 3G rear subframe.
I'd personally do #1. If not, the sway bar will not clear the raised edges of the subframe.

spacers..that is disappointing. I though I read somewhere that the stabilizer is a direct drop in with arms offcourse. The only modification needed is enlarging holes on the stabilizer bracket.
The question still stands will the link with ball joint fit?

The rear subframes are the same, minus that spacer for the sway bar.
The rear knuckles are the same, except they use a smaller diameter wheel bearing.
I would like to say yes. I'd personally build customs ones and not look back at the OEM ones.

Nice pictures, thank you for that. Just have to get the right price for the components.
How does the link in your set up work. That ball joint is open to the elements, how long will it last?

.....and I thank you guys very much for bringing this up. You see I did a write up on installing a 3g rear in a 2g but I never got around to loading it up and putting in pics. Forgot all about it. This reminded me of what a moron I am, so I just loaded her up in the wiki;
