SPL Rear Endlinks Don’t Fit But OEM Does on Eibach Rear Sway Bar

[ohearrl]

Hello Forums,

as the title suggests, how come my SPL rear endlinks don’t go in my rear sway bar but the oem endlinks fit in just fine? I made sure the endlinks were the same as the OEM ones but it still doesn’t slot in. Should I force the endlink in? PLEASE HELP ME!

are both sides of the car in the air, or only one corner?

Undo both sides (with the car on a lift or jackstands), then rotate the bar until the endlink slots in without resistence.

Both sides are undone, there isn’t any links connected besides me trying to slot these ones in. Whenever I rotate it, it still doesn’t wanna slide in because the links have sort of an angle from what it looks like.

Have you tried adjusting the angle of the dangle?

I have but its stiff as a rock, I put a lot of force on it and it wont budge

Are you putting both new parts on at the same time? If not, try that. Otherwise you the short OEM link on the other side of the car is what is causing your issue.

Need to rotate the actual sphericals. They are very tight when new, tap them with a hammer.

Also, the car should be loaded on the ground before putting end links in. If you want to get real dorky, alignment should happen with them removed as well.
