5. Quick Adjustment Troubleshooting
If following the Quick Adjustment Procedure, there should be no issues completing
Steps 1 & 2. If there is any difficultly with Step 3 of the procedure, this can mean
one of a few things:
1. The vehicle's suspension has not settled properly back to ride height. Repeat
any above steps necessary within these instructions and get the endlinks
installed back into Hole #4 on each arm. Drive the car around, turn left and
right, do some hard braking, and get the suspension settled and re-try the
Quick Adjustment Procedure.
2. If the vehicle is sitting on extremely un-even pavement, there may be difficulties
due to additional preload. Reposition the vehicle on a different surface and re-
try the Quick Adjustment Procedure. However, if you are stuck on an un-even
surface, you can correct by performing the following: At the end of Step 2, after
seating the endlink stud fully within the slot of the right side sway bar arm,
thread on the adjustment nut; yet, do not tighten it fully. Let the nut remain a
full turn or two loose. Complete Step 3; and then for a final Step 4, go back to
the right side and finish tightening the adjustment nut.
3. Double check to make certain the sway bar is centered completely, then re-try
the Quick Adjustment Procedure.
4. Double check to make certain the proper endlink lengths are used per the table
in Section 3. If ride height is different between left and right sides of the vehcile,
set left and right endlink lengths accordingly.
5. If all else fails, the endlink length on one side of the vehicle may simply need to
be modified. So if at Step 3 the endlink seems too long or too short to install
into the newly desired hole position, with the car still on the ground, crack loose
on the center endlink lock nut, and then increase or decrease endlink length
until able to insert the endlink stud completely within the slot of the arm.
Tighten the adjustment nut onto the back of the arm. Now, re-set the
maximum endlink articulation by completing 3.D of these installation
instructions (but in this case, you will be completing 3.D with the vehicle still on
the ground). If making an endlink length correction, please test the Quick
Adjustment Procedure multiple times to confirm the new endlink length is ideal.
It should not be necessary to deviate far from the endlink lengths provided on
the table of Section 3.
If there are any issues installing endlinks into Hole #2 due to shock body
interference, this can mean one of two things:
1. Test installing endlinks into Hole #2 on both sides of the vehicle. If only one
side has interference, the sway bar is not centered properly. Re-center the
sway bar correctly and try again.
2. Shock bodies larger than 2.25" in diameter may encounter this interference. To
correct, re-set the arm installation position (Section 2) to a larger value than the
specified 1/16" until clearance is achieved. Endlink length must also be
increased from the Section 3 table values by the same additional increment of
length that was added to the 1/16" arm installation position.
