Kibim Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 n00b question time : These are sway-bar end links ... The bits that connect your sway-bars to the car. From what i can gather, the links are almost more important than the bar itself, as they are more likely to bend? With my stock R sway-bar, will these links make a big diff? My front end rolls around all over the place, even with the Konis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find the rods last even less if your front shocks are knackered as they have to do more work as the car will roll more with worn shocks.

Geigomatic Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Ok, I don't pretend to know much, and this is the first I've heard about end links... But they've got my attention. My question, as a shady-tree mechanic, could I install these myself, will I know how to adjust them, and will I need to do anything special like realignment, etc... once they're on.Mine is a 854R, stock struts/etc... getting IPD springs this week, factory anti-sway bars. Please let me know if I'm forgetting anythingGeiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know if I'm forgetting anythingGeiger←It's easy to install - all you need is a jack and basic hand tools (a socket and wrench in a few sizes). That's it. I provide detailed instructions that walk you through the process from start to finish, including setting the links. It's VERY easy - will take you about an hour the first time. I can do it now in about 20 minutes.No you will not need an alignment. Just plug and play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibim Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 yes and is your car lowered?←No, or should i say not yet. It does have the apparently shorter R springs ... but I dunno how much if any difference there is.yes they will! the std link rods are rubbish and only tend to last <50KI had to replace link rods on the last 3 fwd volvos ive owned (480, 850 t5 and 850r). I also find the rods last even less if your front shocks are knackered as they have to do more work as the car will roll more with worn shocks.←Seeing as i'm on 180k, maybe it's time. Is it possible to get these things to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
