Does anyone by chance have a picture of T1's on their car or have a link to the installation instructions?

My boyfriend was bleeding my brakes for an event and inspectiing the bushings/endlinks, etc, and it looks like the end links might have been installed incorrectly.

Thanks

its pretty hard to install the endlinks wrong. I have seen sway bars put in upside down though.

I will look for a pic of my setup, but if you have a pic of yours I will compare.

thanks, he said the bushings looked like they were on the wrong side. the links were rubbing up against the a arm.

we ended up turning them around and it seems to have worked.

I've had the T1's on for 2 yrs, do most people end up replacing end links, bushings, etc every couple of years?

I have not replaced mine yet. I though have heavy duty adjustable endlinks and used a ton of lube on the bushings.

I am not sure I understand how your bushings were backwards. I will go take a pic of the rear right now and show you what I have.

I put the wider bushings between the arm or bar and the spherical bearing. The thinner bushings are between the bearing and nut.

Here is the front bar:




And here is the rear:




Assuming this is right. I figured that the longer spacer should go as shown. My logic says that if the longer spacer was between the rod end bearing and the nut, they would have just made the bolt shorter.

Hope this helps.

I had to put a washer under both bolts on the pivot bushings, otherwise the bars would not pivot at all. The rear especially was increasing spring rate and oversteer tendancy. I used the middle hole for adjustment FWIW.

thank you to BOTH of you for the pictures. we found mine to be set up the OPPOSITE of the above->the thinner bushing was btwn the arm and the bearing.

we switched it to how it should be

can't believe I've been on the track the last 2 yrs with it that way.

I have mine installed the exact same way, both from the pictures and the description about washers and middle hole.
