Yes, except if you want to change the overall angle.
Our rears benefit from raising the rear angle to gain a bit more half shaft clearance.

Update to this discussion...
I installed H&R bars and adjustable end links this week. After corner balancing the car (links disconnected) when reconnecting the bars there was definitely a significant adjustment required to the links front and rear to eliminate pre-load. Front there was aprox 3/4" difference and rear was about 1/2" difference. Also regarding need for only one link. This is true to eliminate pre-load, but you need two if you want to change overall position of the bar angle. This is especially important at the rear where clearances are very tight between the wheel drive shaft and lower camber control arms.

Question with regards to GC's specific front sway bar and adjustable endlinks - how do I correctly and accurately adjust the endlinks? I have some vertical freeplay where physically moving the sway bar with my arm causes a 'rattle' and I want to eliminate this altogether. Looks to be some threads on the ends of the connecting rods to the endlinks which can lengthen or shorten the rod itself? Also, the connecting rods to endlinks fit to an adjustable clamp, do I have to adjust this sideways along the ends of the sway bar?

Having the links unscrewed out the least will help with the noise, but also ensuring that they are not preloaded. Make sure the nut is tightened down on the link tight. Make sure the sway bar clamps are very very tight. This eliminates the play in the washers. Also make sure they are parallel to the links or they may slide from side to side as they push and pull. Oil and grease all moving parts with some water proof lithium grease. Now, that I have done this they are pretty quiet. BTW, don't forget to reinforce your tabs. They will rip out and I primarily just do street driving. Cheaper and easier before. Hope this helps. |

Will be emailing Trevor from GC to see if I can get a set of links on warranty since GC gives a lifetime warranty on all their products. In any case, also intent on getting a complete set of OEM suspension components (shocks, springs, sways) from beedub. |
