[Shotimes] End links

[Kirk Doucette]

The bar is connected to the body. The bar will only turn so far while
installing shorter endlinks. The also pull from a diagonal direction. When
tightening them and they start the pitch sideways the bar will stop turning
and it will pull the body of the car down. Sort of like if you were under it
and pulled on the bumper, which is not connected to the strut, but the body
of the car.

Your first statement is still right....it makes no sense!!! Nor do I see how
it can possibly affect ride height. Exactly how is it that it "acts as a
clamp between the body structure and the strut" when the link only attaches
between the strut and the bar??

If the bar was binding, I could "maybe" see the ride height difference, but
if the bar ends are 1" higher or lower, there will not be a ride height
difference.

Remember to measure after the car has been driven after coming off the
jack!!

It will affect ride height. I know it makes no sense, but it does. All of
mine 97 and the 91 squat about 1/2 to a full inch because of the shorter
endlinks. It acts as a clamp between the body structure and the strut.
