end-links - how tight?
I just installed Energy Suspension poly bushings and end-links on the front and ES poly bushings and rubber end-links in the back. My question is this. How do I know when I have the end-links tight enough? Or, conversely, how do I know if I have them too tight? TIA

No, peejay must be talking about something else. If you crank em right down you'll squash the hell out of the bushings.
Just install them as per the specs in the manual... 13mm of threaded rod showing in the front and 5mm in the back.

Thats with rubber bushings. Tighten the polys just enough to take out any slack should be fine. Also don't do it with suspension hanging either. IE don't jack it up at the frame

I wasn't so much worried about deforming the bushings. It's just that there's no need to crank them down so tight that the bushings balloon out the sides. Anyway, sounds like you have it sorted out.
