Just out of curiousity, where do those 2 extra spacers go on the front end links? I'm gonna install mine tomorrow and want to make sure where they go properly. Thanks. And the end links look great, can't wait to test them out.

If you look at the following picture:



There is a big cone spacer on the endlink on the bottom where it connects to the lower arm. The additional ring spacer can be added (it should be added in the following order: endlink ball joint, ring spacer, cone spacer, lower arm), or the cone spacer can be removed and just the small spacer installed (ie. endlink ball joint, ring spacer, lower arm). to allow the endlink to reach a more inward or outward adjustment hole on the sway bar without binding.

So to summarize, there are 3 possible configurations:

endlink ball joint, ring spacer, cone spacer, lower arm -- furthest position towards back of car

endlink ball joint, cone spacer, lower arm -- middle position

endlink ball joint, ring spacer, lower arm -- position closest to front of car

You want the installed endlink to still allow some amount of pivoting movement when the suspension moves up and down under travel (try visualizing it). Make sure the bearings are not already binding or close to binding after everything is tightened down. That is the most common mistake when installing spherical bearing endlinks.

If you are unsure of your installation, take a picture and email it to us at sales@splparts.com, and we can tell you if everything is installed correctly.
