replacing front oem endlinks with ES polyurethane
I have a bone stock ek that i use for DD just recently replaced my front end links and front ARB on my ek. I wanted to go over on the way I completed this task. For example, did I miss a step, do I need to zero out the ARB if its stock height, ex.
Heres what I did:
-chalk the rear tires
-lifted front of the car and dropped it on jack stands
-went underneath and located end link and loosened the nuts on end link
-removed end link
-loosened and removed D bracket bolts to replace ARB bushings
-removed old ARB bushing
-lubed new energy suspension ARB bushings with lube in specified areas
-installed new bushing
-bolted back up D brackets with arrows pointing towards front of car and torqued to correct specs
-installed Energy Suspension front end links the way the instructions instructed
-torqued end links to specified specs
-lifted car back up and removed jack stands from underneath
-dropped car
-removed chalk
-went for a spin
Now did miss anything?????

Sounds like you did it right. My general rule of thumb is if you dont have bolts leftover, nothing makes noise and the car operates like it should then you did it right.
