Sorry to bump a slightly older thread but...
I purchased some new rear endlinks from another member back in December. I didn't get them installed until February. About a month ago a "clunking" came about and I couldn't pin-point if it was the front or the rear. So, I took the rear end links and sway bar out from under the car...
The clunk disappeared, surely these $50 end links which still look new are not messed up. Did I install them incorrectly? The old ones were stuck to the old struts but they never clunked and they were probably the original at about 218,000 miles. At that time I pulled the entire rear sway bar too. There was at least 4 months in-between un-installing and re-installing the rear sway and end links, maybe I did it wrong? Could someone post the angle at which the rear links and sway-bar are supposed to sit?
Also, is there an easy way to test these links? They still look new...
Thanks in advance...
