Really dumb question (or I'm the dumb one!)
Do I have this bar in correct, is is it upside-down?
Steeda tells me bar bushing pivot point and endlink mount hole should be parallel to ground. Endlink is over an inch and a half too long for that.
Most pics and video I find show it this way and I'm okay with it not being parallel. I'm even okay with having to move some wiring around to avoid contact with the endlink.
But what bothers me most is the angle of the endlink.
When the endlinks tightened, I can only turn the steering knuckle a few degrees before the bar binds up the steering.
I've even played around with using the front hole on the strut which gives the endlink a little better geometry. But then brings up wire routing issues.
I've seen in other post where people have brought up clearance issues and Steeda has replied "start with a hole in the middle." And a reply to my email today to them was they usually don't use their endlinks on a magnaride car. Why did I buy this stuff if it can't use it!
I hope I'm not coming off as a total idiot here. I know tons of S550s are running this stuff, I'm just hoping to get some advice.
Thanks guys.
