[Shotimes] RE: Replacing Rear Swaybar Link

[Jim & Debbie Leyden]

Chris,

The swaybar links have no effect on the alignment.  There is no proper
torque spec except that when it is properly tightened, the bushing diameter
is equal to the diameter of the washers on either side of the bushings.
Just like on a regular shock absorber.

Jim

	I am in the process of replacing the rear swaybar link on my '95 (I

found the issue while attempting to fix my rear brake that is  
sticking).  The bottom of the link was completely gone.  I have the  
new one in (simple AZ replacement... on a budget here, and it  
actually looks better than the stock one) but I cannot find any  
torque figures in any of the books I have.  For that matter, does  
this affect the rear alignment?  I have a fairly new set of tires and  
want to ensure they won't meet an untimely demise.


Thanks,
Chris
