Default Rear drop links

I am installing my new H&R sway bars, and was wondering if the rear drop links should be able to swivel back and forth to better line up with the softer setting on the bar? Mine are not moving at all, I get a bit of movement in the rubber, but would have to really twist them to get the bolt in.

It's a rubber bush, its position is fixed and the rubber flexes, not rotates/swivels. It'll be fine, but it's new angle will probably accelerate wear in the long run.

Default Tarett

When I first bought my car, it had a broken rear sway link. I replaced it with Tarett's rear sway links and have not looked back. I believe mine had been abused, but there is not a lot of give in the OEM.

Thanks Turbotwoshoes, I will order a set of those on Monday. I definitely do NOT like the idea of preloading the drop link to make it fit the sway bar, way…. too much twist.

I'm also happy with my Tarret links, had them for 4 or 5 years now. Their design is a replica of the Cup car drop links.
