I have given up for the night with just 1 bolt to go before I put the wheel back on and head to the allignment shop. The swaybar endlink bolt will just spin. Am i missing something. The left front just unscrewed and screwed back on.. Idk if I have messed something up or if there is a nut i have missed. Can someone help me out here.

It is the middle bolt.

 

probably busted it inside on the other end. Fortunately, a new one is like $9. When I dropped mine, I got frustrated and used a hammer to get it out...killing the threads. it won't kill you to drive it for now, just don't drive super aggresive.

 

Go to http://www.courtesyparts.com/54618-a...4_715_800_802& to see enlarged picture.

If you look closely at the enlarged picture you'll see one end has an internal recess for an Allen-head wrench, and the other end has a piece to keep the bolt from rotating. Can't tell from the picture which end goes up/down, though.

My guess is the recess is filled with dirt.

 

I could swear there is a spot on the backside to put a wrench on.

 

^lol, terra...always there wit da funny stuff.....

Op, is this your first drop? Whats your chosen setup?...etc....

 

also need a hex key to keep it from spinning

 

are both front wheels off the ground?

 

Two other possibilities:

The splines that hold the clip from turning may have sheared, and it doesn't hold.

The bolt may be pushed through the hole too far, and the clip isn't touching the arm.

 

ya, ummm Terra is right........

OP if this is your problem now, R U SURE you did your install right?




and yes, there is an allen key hole at end of stud as well..

+1 on the post by Jason.

That's how it/they should be installed.

 

Jasonz-ya Thanks a ton. Makes sense now that I see that piece separate. This is my first install and I'm running the gf210's. The other side didn't break free so it puzzled me when this side did. It was late last night and the fatigue was getting to me. Thanks a ton for the replies!

 

Wasn't trying to be funny

 

Terra is correct. You have to double wrench or use the allen setup. It's a 13/16" wrench at least that's what I use. I have coilovers and mess with the front all suspension all the time.

 

Thanks, Ya i used the allen wrench and got it all tightened back up. Everything is on now and I'm waiting on my alignment appointment come thursday.

 

I found it funny whether you were trying or not. never debated whether you were correct or not, I knew you were

 

I didn't proofread at all apparently lol
