Hey, i got a 91 model and i just installed the RB sway bar with the bushings so its sittin up in my car. The links have the bottoms bolted in, and are set the exact same length as the stock, but to connect the bar to the links, i have to force the bar up, and then when i lower it, the car has huge amounts of....wheel gap. is there somethign im missin?

 

did you mount it upside down?

 

how did you fit the RB end links in? they say 86-88 only

but ya the stock links take force to line up. that's the point of having them adjustable. turn them so there is no force when the car is on the ground.

 

PS if you have one wheel on the ground, and one wheel off. there will be huge amount of force on the bar. to install if make sure both wheels are off the ground. then there is no force. to adjust them have both wheels on the ground. (need some blocks or something so you can still get under to adjust.

 

How do you adjust them when its on the ground? It looks like you have to unbolt one side and screw it around then tighten the retaining bolt.

These were the 86-88 front/89-91 rear SS endlinks.

so the point of the adj. endlinks is to take pressure off the sway bar + link...and thats the best way for a setup..with close to no tension on the wheels while sitting on level ground...?

I just came back from a run with the stock links on. Creaks a LOT and pops?? is that normal when theres not enough grease on....?

sorry for the questions, i'll search a bit to see if there are any of these already answered.

yes. I'm still unsure how you fit the 86-88 on the front of your S5. it says right on the RB site they don't fit

 

no no, this is on the rear bar...haha oops sorry if i didnt make that clear
