how did you fit the RB end links in? they say 86-88 only 
but ya the stock links take force to line up. that's the point of having them adjustable. turn them so there is no force when the car is on the ground.

PS if you have one wheel on the ground, and one wheel off. there will be huge amount of force on the bar. to install if make sure both wheels are off the ground. then there is no force. to adjust them have both wheels on the ground. (need some blocks or something so you can still get under to adjust.

How do you adjust them when its on the ground? It looks like you have to unbolt one side and screw it around then tighten the retaining bolt.
These were the 86-88 front/89-91 rear SS endlinks.
so the point of the adj. endlinks is to take pressure off the sway bar + link...and thats the best way for a setup..with close to no tension on the wheels while sitting on level ground...?
I just came back from a run with the stock links on. Creaks a LOT and pops?? is that normal when theres not enough grease on....?
sorry for the questions, i'll search a bit to see if there are any of these already answered.
