Are these on right? Large sleeve makes the space for the bar to clear during movement, short sleeve on the nut side of the bolt/nut.

Correct?

What about the nuts? To the back of the car (like I have them) or does not matter?

I know I did not tighten the lock nut yet.


Thanks!

the sleeve will eat into the a arm you need a washer there.

the top of the link needs a spacer on each side, or the ball movement is limited by the head of the bolt. The angles look perfect however.

Thanks, will do.

Need a sleeve on both sides of the ball joint. From the picture, bottom is correct, top is incorrect.

Thanks, I have no idea why I did the top different from the bottom, I'll change that, I don't think it'll mess up the angles very much.

Maybe that's why they are popping & clunking. I greased the bar & used some washers to "float" the bar (so the bushings don't have such a huge compression on the bar. They are the correct bushings for the bar.

I also greased the heim's & then wrapped some racer tape over them to keep them clean & keep the noise down. Still noisy though.

There is a longer & a shorter sleeve for each heim. When I do the top over, does the long sleeve go next to the bar (the way it is now) and bring the short sleeve to the other side of the heim (where it is missing now) or put the short next to the bar & move the long over?

As David said the angles look good. I would leave the long spacer where it is.
