Hello everyone! I just joined up on the forums.

I did Eibach sways a month ago, and now wanna change end links for adjustable ones. I bought Whiteline KLC141, and here the problem. Each nut has a stopper inside, that doesn't allow it to go freely on the bolt. That's as far as it can go on the photo. Bolt looks to long to tighten sway bar end properly.

I know that several of you guys did the same install. Did you buy a new nut?

Also minor question. Bearings on one end link are noticeable more loose than on the other, is that OK? Or should I better exchange the part?

Thanks!

 

Those are some tight nuts

Assuming the nut thread is matched to that of the shaft, they'll install and torque just fine when used with a proper instrument.

What bearings? The ends are ball joints.

 

I mean ball joints

Black washer inside the nut isn't threaded. It obviously added on purpose (to limit how far the nut can travel)... but I don't get it.

 

Those nuts are called 'Lock Washers' there made like that on purpose to make sure they don't come loose with vibrations. As long as it has the same threads all you would need is two wrenches to put it on. Or a wrench and a ratchet on the nut.

As for one of the joints being looser then another, that can be somewhat common. But only to a certain extent, might want to get a second opinion on that before you put it on

 

Thank you guys!

 

Those nuts are referred to as nylock nuts. As mentioned, it's a way of locking them in place. They are supposed to be hard to put on, just a few lb ft of torque should get them on.
