KB endlink install -- slightly angled

vashim66 · 03-22-2008, 05:21 PM

Just installed my 22mm adjustable cusco rear sway bar w/ kartboy endlinks. For some reason the endlink on the driver side ended up being slightly angled. Is this bad to keep it this way? It just seemed like the sway bar was slightly misshapen to be able to fit perfectly, since it looks great on the passenger side.

I drove it for a couple of miles and feels great and makes no strange noises at all.

Looks fine to me. My endlinks (different brande) are a bit angled as well.

I know the Kartboys come with some spacers to keep the bushing in the endlink are those installed on these? I don't see any in the photos but since I have different endlinks I can't really know for certain.

My endlinks didn't come with any spacers. Only bolts, washers, and the endlinks themselves. Was thinking of putting in some extra washers between the endlink and the bar to even it out.

Kartboy spacers are for the front links only.

hard to tell from the pics, but is your suspension loaded in those pics? If you're still on jacks in those pics, the endlinks will straighten out once you lower the car back down.
