25405 COMPETITION END LINK KIT
2002-UP ACURA RSX, 2004 Subaru STi
Thank you for your purchase from our line of competition parts. Please call us at (877) 4NO-ROLL if you have any questions
regarding the service or installation of your Hotchkis products.
Special Note: Our new & improved end links are now maintenance free. So there are no grease
fittings needed. Pictures in this manual shows the previous design with grease fittings.
INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS FRONT ENDLINKS
(Step 1) Remove the stock end links from the vehicle. Install your new Hotchkis end links in the same manner as the
picture below. Don’t forget to place the provided washer before each nylock nut. The jam nut installed on your end
links should be loose during installation. This will allow you to position the ball joint studs correctly.
(Step 2) Use a 9/16” wrench and a 3/16” allen wrench to tighten the nylock nuts for each stud. (
Tip: If
possible, try using a “ratcheting wrench” to speed up the process.)
