Rear End Link Install
1.
Raise vehicle onto jack stands or professional hoist.
2.
Remove rear endlink on both sides of vehicle. a.
Use 14mm wrenchs to remove upper and lower endlink bolts. If nuts on swaybar do not come off and spin center bolt, use M5 allen wrench to hold while removing nut. b.
Loosen 17mm bolt (at least 4 turns) securing bottom of shock to control arm. This will allow the arm to spread open a small amount for removing stock endlink and reinstalling PERRIN endlink.
3.
Using below picture of right side of vehicle (looking from back of car toward front) for illustration, install end links to swaybar. NOTE:Make sure that the part is oriented/offset toward the swaybar as shown below. a.
Install supplied 3/8” washer onto head of bolt. b.
Place bol t through endlink, then install one more 3/8” washer. NOTE: Apply a small amount of grease to both sides of endlink bushing that touch 3/8” washer.
c.
Install endlink w/bolt and washers to swaybar then install supplied 3/8” flat washer, then 3/8” lock washer, then 3/8” nut to secure endlink to swaybar. Leave loose at this time.

4.
Drop endlink into control arm if this is not already done from above step. Note: Make sure and apply a small amount of grease to faces of bushing
where it will touch spacers in next step.
5.
Starting with right side of car, install stainless steel spacers between control arm and endlink. NOTE: It’s important to orient spacers to create the least amount of deflection from bushings. The setting and brand of swaybar will dictate how the spacers are arranged. Follow the above (3) diagrams (looking from the right wheel toward endlink) to help guide you through the next steps. a.
Slide OEM bolt partially into back side of control arm and install (1) or (2) supplied SS spacers, and push bolt through spacer and endlink. b.
Install remaining spacer (or spacers depending on swaybar) between endlink and inside of control arm. The last spacer will be tight as it requires slight compression of the bushing to squeeze in there. NOTE: This will require the use of a small prybar or flat head screw driver squeeze bushing into place. Pry lightly against the last spacer and inside of control arm from bottom and drop spacer in from top, as shown below.
c.
With all (3) spacers installed, push bolt through control arm and and Install OEM nut onto bolt, but leave loose at this time. d.
After right side is complete, do the same steps on the left side.
6.
Tighten all bolts to 35-40-ft-lbs starting with upper connections on both sides then moving to lower control arm connections.
7.
Tighten lower shock mount bolt and nut to 89ft-lbs.
8.
Lower car from jack stands and take car for test drive.
9.
If endlinks making any kind of noise, check for hardware being tight.
10.
Over time, endlink bushings may need to be regreased. Only use supplied Energy Suspension Grease to lubricate both the internal sleeve in bushing and face of bushing that touches the washers. Failure to use this grease can damage bushings over time. If additional grease is needed, give our Tech department a call and we can get you taken care of.
