Rear Swaybar Droplinks?
Somehow, I missed this discussion from back when Serge944 was selling these and never got into this mod.
Now that I've been tightening up the handling on my 951 cab with some new M030 sways and shocks I'd like to know a little more about the rear droplinks, but haven't found much through search.
Could someone please give me the lowdown?
1) Do the stock units wear out?
2) What aftermarket options are there?
3) How do you adjust them?
Thanks!

I bought some of those, my stock were not particularly tired, but I wanted to eliminate the rubber, I adjusted them to take out the preload on the swaybar.

The way I adjusted mine was to let the car set on level ground, added 180lbs ( my weight) to the drivers seat. Then adjust the swaybar links so I could assy the bolts with out drag.

I didnt have any problems getting to them with the car on the ground, on the wheels.
If you were a 250lb barrel chested guy then it might be tough.
What you are looking to do is to have zero tension on the sway bar when the car is static and loaded with the normal amount of weight.
Thats what I understand anyway. So I had about 1/2 tank of gas and put a guy weighing as much as me
in the drivers seat.
Then kept adjusting the links till the bolts would easily slide in.
