Anyone install Megan Toe Links?

I cant seem to get the toe links into the brake hub slot.
Did anyone have to grind the opening a bit??

You have to press the sleeve back before the rod end will fit. The toe link and upper and lower control arm mounts on the rear uprights have these sleeves. There is a good write-up on clubrx.org in the "impact tool pillowball replacement" how-to. Their site appears to be down right now. You just have to use a socket and one of the suspension bolts to press that sleeve back to make room.

Mine slid right in place of the stock units. 5 minute install on each corner. No problems what-so-ever. :shrug:

Happy with the results considering "cheap" parts. We'll give them a bit of time and see what happens.

Well the site's still down, but I found this excerpt from the write-up that shows what you need to do:

Sometimes it's a problem and other times it's not. Just depends on if the rod-end/spacer stack is shorter than the original toe link pillowball piece - if it is, you won't have to bother with the sleeve.
