How do I install endlinks?

I just got the poly zinc coated endlinks off spohn. Can I drive the car up on ramps and change them, or should I jack it up and pull of the tires?

How tightly should I crank down on the bushings?

Re: How do I install endlinks?

Are you talking about the rear sway bar end links?

I slid under my car in the garage with no jack or anything. But it was TIGHT and I almost pulled some joints out of socket .

If I had it to do over again, the easiest way would be to get it on a grease pit or a lift that lifts the car by the tires and work from under the car. The ramps should work, too. Or you can jack it up and remove your wheels to get to them easier. But jacking and removing wheels is a pain to me. I'm always afraid I'm going to knock a fender out of alignment with the jack. I've heard too many horror stories about that.

I installed some this past weekend. I backed my car up on ramps. Then worked off the floor. Be sure to put some Kroil or PBlaster on the old end-link threads. I just tightened them to where they felt right, but Ive heard some people say to torque them to 18ft lbs

No I mean the front end links. So basically I don't HAVE to take the tires off? That's great! Thanks!

Got 'er done just by cutting the wheels right and left. Wasn't hard at all. You just have to go in through the front.
