nevermind, couldn't get the second endlink loose, seized. Now must take to stealership

 

Thanks Expo, I'll file that diagram. How the heck are you posed to get those endlinks off. Having to twist one way with a 14mm wrench and the other with an L key? Thats insane!

 

Yes, I did spray some liquid wrench and let it set for a hour before I removed them.

PM me on that when it's ready. I'd be interested in an adjustable bar. I was even thinking of making my own. But if you're mak'n it so much the better.

Well, just got done with the install. 5 hours 12 minutes. Prob subtract 30ish minutes from that since I had to jack the car up and down + wheels on/off twice (ran out of time when it got dark last night). It is a mondo biatch to get that sway bar over the steering bars. The Whiteline one is adjustable so the ends of the bar that go into the endlinks are about 1/4" longer than stock. That part was like solving a puzzle.

Oh yah, can anyone enlighten me on how you are posed to torque down the endlink nuts after you lower the car? I was told the suspension should be loaded before you tighen them down. The other problem i see with this is you have to have an L key wrench in the bolt while twisting the nut.

 

Btw, is the MS swaybar kit comes with any harder bushings or it'll use the existing OEM rubber bushings?
