Help installing T1 Sway Bars Endlinks
This past week I've been busy installing a few upgrades. I'm currently installing a T1 Sway bar kit and have the adjustable metal endlinks. My 01 Vette originally came with the plastic endlinks, which were falling apart. I'm confused as on the proper way to install these endlinks. I've read through other threads on setting the adjustments but I have not found anything in regards to the bushings that are on the endlinks. Each side of the endlink has a long and short bushing. I'm not sure on the correct orientation when installing and don't know if it really matters which bushing goes on which side. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hello,
It’s very important to get the spacers in the correct positions as the gaps prevent the link from rubbing the Stab Bar or A arm
The below pics are with the GM End Link so the hardware is a bit different but I believe you will see the gaps that I mention above for proper spacer install.
If I recall correctly with your hardware, I beleive the sequance is as follows;
Bolt, small spacer, rod end, large spacer, (A arm or stab bar) Nut.
Hope this helps
