Hey guys, I just put new frt sway bar bushing and end link bushing in my 1978 El Camino. How far down do you adjust the end links for good cornering? Seems like they are a little spongee right now. The new bushing are poly and are not adjusted down much. Should the ends of the sway bar be fairly level or what?

Hello
Just tighten the end links down there is no adjustments there (that is what controls your body roll). And when the suspension is loaded (all 4 wheels on the ground) the sway bar should be parallel to the surface.

That's not quite right. You can overtighten the end link bushings. It causes bind & the sway bar reacts like it's too big. You need to set the bushiongs so full articulation is allwed without having excess play.

Hello
Yes I see your point! I am sorry for not being clearer on that. But what I always suggest is when tightening down the end links only tighten until the bushing starts to bulge.
Sorry for any inconvenience
