Default Endlink Angle???

Hi, I just installed a set of aftermarket Rear LCA's (Blox Style with endlink hole dead center on the arm) On My 89 CRX Si. I'm using the stock swaybar and endlink setup. When I tried to bolt the endlink up, the angle is so extreme the holes will not line up and the endlink bushing will not make proper contact against the LCA. I read somewhere to use washers, but never figured out how many are nessecary. I used about a 2 inch stack of washers and longer (suspension grade bolt) and now the endlink is vertical. Will different angles of the endlink affect proper sway bar movement? Will this affect the stiffness of the swaybar? Here's an illustration to demonstrate what I'm talking about. This is when viewed from the driverside with the wheel removed.


Thanks for looking.

Nevermind, after some more careful searching, I found my answer. For the 10 or so people that reviewed my thread but didn't have an answer for me, the picture I posted is the correct way to setup the endlink...just wanted to double check though.

that looks like hell.. the problem is putting too much stress on the endlink which will cause it to break.. You can do what you are doing , but damn... It almost looks like the BLOX lca's are setup for an adjustable, endlink/swaybar setup.. I cant see how thats going to hold up over time...

That's bad news, I need a rear sway bar for my dx, and have the same blox control arms. Instead of a stack of washers, could you use a spacer of some sort??

Well from what I have read, you can use washers or spacers but you want the end link as close to vertical as possible. Here's a couple helpful threads I found while searching .
