sorry, common failure. 700

Lots of small suspension bits just break when you try to replace them...air wrenches often twist off bolts when trying to take off nuts, even if you PB or liquid wrench (I like aerokroil BTW!) them a couple days in advance.

BTW, NOW is the time to replace your conical bushings in the lower suspension arms. If you have more than 70K on them they're likely toast!

Also, check the book for the compressed length of the bushing/washers on the end links...I think it's something like 38 or 40mm but someone may post it for sure. Maybe the FAQ has the length? Some people like to just tighten the link until the bushings bulge out to the dia of the washers or just tight, your choice. Too tight the bushings fail, too loose, the swaybar rattles or doesn't kick in correctly.
