I might just do that, I just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. Ill see what they say tomorrow. Ill get a video of the car in the parking lot to show you guys.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'm a little baffled. The front side and back side work in tandem. One can't be loose and the other tight.
I don't mean rear links if that's where our wires are crossing.

Oh I missunderstood. They are both tight as in the sway is under a bit (a small bit) of tension while sitting flat. I was meaning the actual nuts that attach to the sways.

If I'm not mistaken. The nuts that come with the links are lock nuts. They're only good for one time. If you reuse them. They won't stay tight.
