Now get out there and get that thing on. Remember to use an alan wrench to stabalize the end links so you can get it bolted on.

xizor, I actually got a papercut when I opened the box too.

Hmm... I did my install when it was sitting on flat ground. I wonder if that's why my car only makes left turns now

Are you saying that you have to tightening the sway bar now and then?

Man, that sucks. I ordered from the same place. Suppose to be here Thursday. Hopefully they're ok.

By the way, Dan, do you get a manicure? Nice nails!

I think it's probably a good idea. I've been wanting to for a while but my ratchet set is still at my g/f's from when I replaced her brakes.

Probably only once after the rubber compresses and settles. I checked it again and everything was tight.
