Can you tell me about your Energy Suspension End Link Kit? What I am wondering is how hard it is to put these in? And I have been wondering I plan on getting a Addco Rear Sway bar but I am wondering how easy this is to install. I don't know too much about suspension. So could ya help me out? Thanks alot man!

Do a search for these items on the Suspension/Chassis board, you'll find my old messages. And as for difficulty, if you can really take an engine apart and put it back together in a day, neither of these should be worrying you.

I can take the engine apart but in the classes I took/taking we haven't even gotten into suspension at all! That suprises me alot.

Wow, weird.. it all just bolts on, and unbolts... sometimes the end links rust together; they have a metal sleeve with a thru-bolt, and the bolt rusts to the sleeve. You can undo the nut, and remove the end link from the anti-sway-bar, but the rusted sleeve will "hold" the end link to the front control arm (or rear body bracket).

I used a cutting tip on a soldering iron to slice the bushings out of there, then I used a pair of bolt cutters to snip off the thru-bolt's head.
