Adjustable length end links
It may be necessary to adjust the length of the end links for proper sway bar clearance from the drive
axles. The procedure for this is quite simple.
- Raise the rear end of the car until the rear suspension is fully extended (i.e. wheels are not
touching the floor). This is full droop.
- At this full droop state, check to see if the sway bar is approximately
1
16
” -
1
8
” away from the
drive axle. If not, loosen the hardware and adjust the length accordingly. Having appropriate
clearance will ensure that the sway bar will never contact the drive axle.
- Adjusting the end link length is as easy as loosening the jam nut and rotating the lower body in or
out. You must perform step 11 after each adjustment to determine sway bar clearance.
