I installed the itr swaybar and rcrew brace this afternoon on my eg and when i installed the endlinks onto the lca, the endlinks arent flush/vertical with the lca. Am i doing something wrong or am i in need of different endlinks? I'm also using megan lca's btw.

When the weight is back on the wheels, wont the ARB swing up higher, and the endlink become more flush??

Yes it will.

OP: you need to check the orientation of the end links when the car is on the ground.

However, those lower control arms make the problem worse because the end link hole is not in the right place. You should either go back to stock or use Function7 or Skunk2 or OmniPower control arms that have the hole for the end links up towards the top edge of the LCA.

 

I already checked it when the car was on the ground, doesnt make much of a difference compared to how it is now since the suspension is already pre loaded. Will i have any problems if i drive around like this for a while? Besides a new pair of lca's, will adj. endlinks cure my problem as well? thanks all for the help.

My ITR bar is mounted with my stock end links and stock LCA's and it's just fine. Changing to LCA's with the end link hole in the stock location should be the only change you need to make.

However, if you get a control arm like the F7 with various end link holes, then you would need to run adjustable end links to use any of the holes other than the stock hole location.

 

not to thread jack but if he was running heim joints with adjustable endlinks wouldn;t that solve the problem

I don't think adjustable endlinks would solve the problem, rather, a spacer to bring the attachment point to the correct location for the endlink would. He'd have to make sure the spacer material is up to the task, and would need longer bolts. Even with adjustable endlinks, he'd still need spacers with those LCAs.

 

yea i know what you mean. on the stock lca theres a tab that comes outward where the endlink would bolt into but i guess all of this doesnt matter anymore since i've decided to just sell the car and use stock lca's next time. thanks for all the feedback.
