That link is WAY out of alignment. Best thing to do there is relocate the bracket on the control arm. Otherwise you are going to keep killing bushings. If that gets it too close to the tire you can try a longer link with heim joints instead of bushings.

Ok.... Hard to tell. You added a bracket to the LC?

Somethings definitely twisted.

I just finished mine today.

It's a cpp bar. At my preferred ride height. The bar sits parallel to the ground.

No spacers on the "dog bones". Used the taller frame brackets. Grade 8 all the way through.

On the passenger side. I used the existing outer hole and the drivers side. I drill a new one.

The holes need to be 5/8" for the bushing to sit right.

Its not exact perfect centered, but close enough.
No binding or noise.

Handles like great now! No more Corning diving!
Lol!


You have to start all over. I've done redoes. It sucks! Apart of the process though.
