Do i bolt the end links to the lca shock mount when the wheels are loosely in the air, or do i have to lower the vehicle back to the ground then tighten the bolts? I know that's what you're supposed to do when you torque your lcas so i'm wondering if you have to do it for this as well?

 

was wondering why you posted this in integra forum...


but yes, torque them with full weight of car on the endlinks too.

 

With the car on the ground there should be no tension on the swaybar on either side, it should be completely neutral. So yes, adjust the endlinks and tighten with the weight the car on the suspension.

 

separate advice: sandwich a washer in between the U bracket and the right angle bracket so the poly bushing is not squeezed too much.

or at least check that the bar can freely move and not bound up by the bushings. they typically are too tight and need to be spaced out a bit more.

 

For the best results, put the equivalent of your weight in the drivers seat before you tighten the bolts

 

I did mine while the car was on stands.
(I don't think I would've been able to tighten mine had it been on the ground, well, not without access to a 4-poster or a pit that is)

 

It's not the correct way but yeah I had to do mine the same way

Duh
