Okay who has not had an issue with the sway endlinks?

[icegrill]

I'm about to do a rear sway install but don't want to start it if the allen head stud will strip like a 2 dollar hooker. Who has not had a problem with proper pre-spraying of liquid wrench and having all the correct tools. Thanks

I had no problems when inserting the allen wrench to take off the sway. Make sure it is in there well, then spray WD-40 on the threads. Also gentle start to turn the nut, should come off fine. I wouldn't spray anything into the hole for the allen wrench.

It's not a problem with the spray lubricant and a good set of tools (long reach allen keys).

like hell its not :yellm:

i dint even use an allen wrench the nut came right off for me

[styllinep3]

no such luck here. i was in a shop with a lift, and the tools i could need. then again i liv in pa, and this is my 2cd winter driving the ep. salt sucks ass

Make sure you use the correct metric hex key instead of SAE, then you wont mess up anything.

[styllinep3]

i did and it stiped right out . i guess it depsnds on what kinda of weather your ep has seen. cause mine were rusted to shit

[ConeCrazy02]

Maybe, but I was bless with the Texas weather.

No WD-40....and my car has been driven through salt and snow for almost 3 months.

Okay after my ss install today in my cousins garage I soaked the end link nuts down with liquid wrench and am letting them sit over night. I'm going to first use a 14mm deep socket and a breaker bar to free the nuts then go from there with the allen wrench. I'll post pics when I'm done with the install.(hopefully) ;)

this is my second winter. thats like 6 months of shit. like a 1 year and a half of road wear period . i did use wd 40, and no love . there just shitty endlinks, and dont like age and weather i guess.

No problem at all. BTW, WD40 is probably the worst lubricant on the planet. Do yourself a favor and get a high-quality penetrant.

[styllinep3]

if they strip just get some needle nose vice grips, and grab the endlink on the back side of the sway. where the big ring washer is . that worked great for me.

I had no problems with mine, even now I dont...but there's no rust in Austin, TX. ;)
