    Installing ST swaybars

    I am trying to install my ST rear swaybar, but the instructions and diagram that came with them suck horribly. I know that I have to weld on the reinforcement tabs, but how do I assemble the endlinks? Does anybody have any pics of what the assembled endlinks should look like, or mabey a writup? Thanks.

      i just installed mine no problem. Do you have the directions for them? I can probably snap a few pictures today after work if you would like.

        the endlinks are easy. One endlink (if I remember correctly), consists of a threaded rod, 2 rod ends, and 2 nuts.

        Try and make the best of this....

        O=[]------[]=O

        KEY:
        O= rod end
        [] nut
        ----- threaded rod

        the nuts you tighten against the rod ends to hold them in place. Just measure the length of the stock ones, and make these the same.

        You then have a spacer on each side of each rod end, which is there to keep the head of a bolt or nut from allowing full movement of the bearing.
