Removing rear sway bar from end links
Removing rear sway bar from end links
Hi all,
I have the RacingLine adjustable RSB and I recently had the bushings lubricated by my dealer. Unfortunately they reinstalled the RSB with the softer setting by attaching the first hole to the end link (instead of the second). This seemed like a fairly easy job to fix, but I encountered the following problem:
When loosening the nut that attaches the RSB to the end link, the entire bolt connecting the two spins. There is nothing on top of the bolt to hold it in place as it goes up into the end link knuckle. Is this normal? If so, how have others been able to remove the nut? On another related note, the nut on the other side won't budge, I need to use something more than my puny human strength for that one.
I'm sure I must be missing something pretty obvious, I took a look at the instructions for replacing the RSB on Stillen's website and nothing about this was mentioned.
Thanks,
Trix.

This is normal, I used a pair of small vice grips to hold the end and keep it from spinning while I took the nut off. Once you get the vice grips on it it's pretty easy.
