weak link after change to poly bushings-anyone experience this????? 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be mark /another broke login guy on  Mon Oct 7 14:42 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Redid front suspension on 88 wgn EXCEPT sway bar links.Went with polyurethane from FCP groton.LINKS HAVE POLY WITH rubber for sway bar.need to replace those with IPD poly-PERHAPS that will help my problem: driver side link broke and I"m wondering WHY? Every day driving car I hear "CLUNK" coming from that area-that led to old link breaking.When tighening bottom link-to-control arm-HOW TIGHT OR DEPRESSED ARE BUSHINGS? ALSO do the tops need to be as tight? sounds like a dumb question but I notice that those links aren't straight-up and down,but that the top is further BACK.It took quite a bit of persuasion to line them up to seat bushings for install.NORMAL? Will IPD POLY FIX THIS? I notice on 940's and probably 740's with steel control arms it's improved over a straight link!DO I HAVE A GEOMETRY PROBLEM BECAUSE OF POLY AND IT"S PLACING too much stress on the link(s)? HELP PLEASE!!!!! mark
