Hi guys, i just got S2 LCAS to replace my BLOX lcas on a 2000 si em1, when doing the install i noticed that the Rear sway bar end links are far too short to pass all the way through the LCA and be secured at the other side, its threaded and screws in roughly half way through the LCA

im using OEM endlinks on my stock si swaybar, is anyone running this? is it ok to have it threaded only half way through without a nut? the BLOX ones went all the way through and werent threaded, and secured on the other side.

 

The OEM endlinks and Blox go all the way through on mine. The stock ones do not get a nut on the other end because they are not as long. Is that what you are talking about? How do you think it would even manage to work itself free?

 

i guess technically it shouldnt spin or come out of the threading, but it just makes me nervous that so little amount of thread is holding the endlinks on, i guess just screw it in and let it be???

 

So little? The whole length of the thread sits in the LCA.

 

thanks i put it in,

Another noob question, can anybody point to me where the Rear Toe adjuster is? mine is "seized" according to the alignment shop and i cant align the rear of the car, i want to make sure it actually is frozen and cant be un-siezed..... if anyone could show me where it is on a 99-00 si chasis,

thanks!

 

Front of the trailing arm.

 

Its actually called a Compensator Arm... They seize often. Heat it up with a torch!!

 

Soak it in areo-kroil and try loosening it with an impact. Short bursts, don't just grab it...

Hopefully you can break it loose without actually breaking it. It's a bitch and a half to replace it.

 

Mine seized inside the bushing sleeve so bad i just cut them out... had a set of used gsr ones laying around

 

are you sure you have the right control arms? if you have the ones pictured in your original post, those are for 92-95 civic and 94+ integra. 96-00 civics have them more in the middle and are through holes, not threaded.

 

The ones I have look like the first image with threaded holes and I drive a 96.
