Installing Whiteline Endlinks?
 
Hey guys, I just recently placed an order for whiteline rear sway bar end links because my OEM ones are shot (clunk clunk clunk lol). I was doing some research on installing them and noticed that they are adjustable. From what i have been reading, the sway bar end links should be installed with the wheels touching the ground so the car has a load on the sway bar. I was thinking about putting the car on oil change ramps (backing it onto the ramp and leaving the front on the ground since I am doing the rear). Since I have read that the car should not be on jack stands when the end links are installed will the ramp technique work for installing the end links? Another question that I have is if this technique is right, HOW do i adjust the sway bar end links? Should i adjust them to the length of the factory end links, or should i adjust them to slide in flush with the sway and body?

I am lowered on Tein S techs if that makes a difference. Thanks for any help!

yep, using ramps is fine. even lengths is good.

Just get a couple of 2x8's and the car should be high enough with those under the back tires to access the rear swaybar links.

Set the swaybar about level in the back and install the first endlink. Go to the second endlink and adjust it until the bolt just slides into the swaybar with no forcing or angling or anything...just slips right in. This will ensure that the swaybar has no preload in it and give a nice performance.

Awesome, thanks man! Does it matter which part I slide into first?
