Posted May 23, 20186 yr comment_549701 Speaking of swaybar links, I was in the process of reinstalling my rear bar. I am looking at the links being the same length and the factory control arms flipped side to side. This gives me the thought now one control arm is closer to swaybar end then the other. And I have 2 links the same length. Hmmmm. That"s going to put my bar in a preload when tightened up. I am thinking now I should have shortened that one link a long time ago. Anyone else done this or just cranked on the same links on both ends.

May 24, 20186 yr comment_549730 Those clever suspension design guys have that covered... Non-problem. It doesn't matter. Note the bulged up (or down, depending on which side you consider "up") area where the end link contacts the control arm. It's almost an ellipse? Note that area is actually in the centerline of the control arm. When you flip it over, since it's on center, the distance is the same regardless of which side is up. Not sure if makes sense with just words. If not, I can post a pic or something to help explain?
