i just ordered some adjustable rear endlinks to go w/ my hotchkis sways. ive ready several different methods, but what is the proper way to adjust these?

also, when it comes time (when i can afford them), and order the adjustable fronts. will i use the same method? put the tires on and sat the car on some blocks or something so i can crawl underneath and adjust?

ive heard in some case u want to make the bar as parallel to the ground as possible, others make it as perpindicular to the endlink as possible, others just say until it feels good, some say enough to reduce preload... but exactly where is that point?

anyone?

Even better is to corner balance the car first..... but,

With the car on as level of a surface as you can find:

1) Connect one end of the bar to the car with one of the endlinks. (disconnecting one front link is a good idea as well to remove all preloading).

2) With the car sitting on the wheels (weight on the suspension), and optimally something equivalent in weight to you in the drivers seat, adjust the other link so it fits into the bar without having to put any pressure on the bar.


The idea is to remove any preloading in the bar when the car is sitting normally with the drivers weight in it.
