Are Front Struts supposed to Clear End-Links??
I'm solving some issues with my front suspension replacement/upgrades and have a problem with My Yellow Koni Struts (the bottom inch of the strut) hitting up against the top bushing area of the end links.
A couple people here on our board have helped me figure out that the end-links are to long, but with the multiple curves that are designed into my Hellwig sway bar, it's difficult to tell if it was accidently installed upside down or not. Thus the question as to how close your front struts actually come to the entire end link when the wheels are turned lock to lock. Should they clear the end link completely? Or clear the polybushing sandwich but not the top of the threaded rod? Or should the Front Struts not even come close to the sway bar end-links??? ( I purchased the Hellwig 1.25" bar from our Classified Message Board used) Maybe I don't even have the correct front Sway Bar......? Thanx in advance; Nitro-Nicky
