Wiggle it on the hwy, and you will notice some of the rear end play is gone, too
It's a pretty easy installation and you only ned basic hand tools. It DOES help towards the war against wheel-hop, but it doesnt eliminate it.

You guys better check WHERE your clunk is coming from first...
The M2 kit doesnt replace EVERY possible location where a clunk could be coming from...

it took about 1 hour, 30 min each side. The only problem was the factory bolts are on there TIGHT!!!! It was b*tch to get them off 
Like flybye said, just basic hand tools. To be exact: 10mm socket, 17 mm socket, 17mm wrench, (one other socket but I cann't remmber what), philips head screw driver, and tire iron I am pretty sure that was all.

I know this is one of the places on mine which clunks. I looked at it when I changed struts. It has significant play in it.
BTW: Pettit carries these links for about the same price.

I installed the M2 arms and links a
month ago and found that 2 of the bushings had the wrong I.D. so had I not noticed it, I would have had a
clunk where I didn't before.
While searching for the correct bushings at my friend's garage, became
aware that any local short track racer
uses these same links in various lengths.
Probably everyone knows someone who
races on a local dirt or paved track
that has these things as spares.
Felt like an ******* for spending
the bucks on the M2 kit, especially
when my friend said, " Take what you
need, they're only spares, no charge."
