Any ideas how to tighten the lower links? They are free-spinning
the uppers have a built in hex on the bolt side to hold it place while you tighten nit on top, but the lowers do not (circled in red).
Dont want to channel lock or pry inside, scarred of ripping boot. Can I apply pressure from outside against the link housing? Or will that too damage inner components?
BTW, I took my Watts linkage off after I got the same bush kit as you and, I was amazed at what good condition the originals were in at 118,000mi. And they seem very much more heavy duty than the ones in the kit, so I reinstalled them for now. I'll hold on to the kit for when I need them, but depending on how yours hold-up, not sure if I want to use em or not.. keep me posted on any issues you have if you can, and thanks for being the guinea pig!
No clue, the only thing I can think of is to apply pressure with a pry bar. Maybe try contacting the manufacturer of that sway
Another option is to simply delete both sways. With stiff springs, I barely notice the difference, even during emergency lane changes
ive heard a lot of guys remove at the least the back, esp with lift it serves barely any purpose anymore.sonce I got the parts I’m going to see what I can do.

sweet yeah going to try it. Haha whatever works for you. Mine had a good 80k more on them and were clunking. So far so good, been about a month no squeeks. Just still trying to get to the bottom of this other clunk. Going to finish this back rollbar set up and see if that did the trick. Will let y’all know.
