I have adjustable sway bar endlinks on my FC and i was wondering what the effects on handling would be by adjusting them?

I dont know a lot about suspensions or about self tuning. so any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Basically they just allow you to have zero pre-load on the swaybar when the car's sitting still with you in it. This means that it'll react equally in both directions (unless something else is off that is).

As Black91n/a said, its for adjusting preload on the bar. It doen;t effect roll stiffness over all at all, just from one side to the other and also allows you to set the bar at the proper angle. Set the car on level ground, un-hook both side of the bar. Reconnect one side and try to keep the bar as parrallel to the ground as possible by adjusting the end link. Then go to the opposite side and re-attach the end link adjusting it so it fits on with out having to add pressure to the bar and or jack the car up to get the link to fit. In otherwords, zero preload. You should have someone sit in the car the same weight as the driver or load the driver seat with weight some how.

Wow. Awesome. Thank you very much for the in depth answer. Exactly what i was looking for.


Do you think i should attach the drivers side first? Will it make any difference?

Won't matter which side you do first, so long as the car is on level ground and drivers weight in the seat.
