3. Quick Adjustment Setup
The quick adjustment feature of this sway bar kit is dependent upon:
1.
Arm installation position relative to center section (Section 2 above)
2.
Proper endlink length (subject to ride height & arm installation position)
3.
Correct sway bar centering
Use the below table to determine ideal endlink length for your ride height:
RIDE HEIGHT

12.50"
2.63"
12.75"
2.69"
13.00"
2.75"

*1
Ride height is measured from the center of the hub to the bottom edge of the fender.
*2
Endlink length is measured from center of ball to center of ball.
A.
Endlinks are pre-set to 2.75" by Karcepts, Inc. upon shipment. Re-set endlink
length if your ride height is not 13.00". You may loosen the lock nuts and rotate
one side of the endlink in or out 1.5 rotations to adjust for 1/16" (0.06") of endlink
length. (For example: Your ride height from center of hub to bottom of fender =
13.50". If following the table above, that would mean you need the endlinks to
be 1/8" longer. Simply loosen the lock nuts and unscrew one side of the link 3
full turns, then re-tighten to achieve a 2.88" long endlink.)
Depending on corner balance (differing heights per side of the car w/o driver), you
may realized the left link and right link should differ in lengths per the above table.
At this time, find a happy medium to set both endlinks to the same length. We will
need the endlinks at equal length in order to center the bar at full droop. In future
steps (after centering the bar), you may re-correct endlink length if finding the need
to even do so. We have built in fairly large clearances on this design for ease of
quick adjustment, so endlinks set at equal lengths even with slightly differing left to
right ride heights most likely will not need any correction.
