anyone can comments on the pictures please?

chris walrod

the two small tophat looking pieces are separate from the rod end, and can be removed but shouldnt be loose like they appear. You can Loctite them into place.

the third image appears to be a piece of rubber torn away from the top mount(?) -- not sure why this is.

The last image of your CV joint dust shield being all beat up - did a driveshaft pop loose at some point? Suspension bump and rebounding motion can do this if the inboard mount comes loose.

loctite will keep them from moving???

yes it a piece of the top of the strut, but i dont know if i need to buy the top mount or i can purchase only that rubber...

no i removed it the wrong way, i did good for the driver side but the passenger side, i had to used a screwdriver and i beat the **** out of it
and i want to know if the metal part can be purchase apart...

thanks for the help

the things on the ends of the end links are heim joints. Try a place like Colman or Afco if you are looking for replacements. Might be more economical to just buy new adjustable end links.

Seb,

You have the wrong drop links for a C4S front sway bar. You need to purchase the curved adjustable drop links for the front adjustable sway bar.

Paseb

which one are you talking about?

my front and rear swaybar look like gt3 sways, i have 5 holes in front and 4 in the back(not quite sure of the rear)

is it why my swaybar hitting the lower control arm?

thx for the tip

RE beat the crap out of it

the bar "can" be loaded with spring tension...to remove the drop link you have to unload the spring tention by pressing the bar up or down till it is neutral - once the parts are at nutral they should just slip right out...

anytime working with springs and removing nuts/bolts ALL SPRING TENSION MUST BE REMOVED!!!

(unless you dont like your fingers, head, arms, legs, car panels, neighbor, kids or other things that might be injured, damaged or killed when the tension releases in an uncontrolled manner)
Weight can act like a sprung weight on a bolt too...if the bolts are not coming apart or sliding out...THINK about what is happening BEFORE reaching for a bigger prybar

Skip to about the 1:00 mark

Seb,

A picture is worth a thousand words. Scroll to the bottom of the thread to see a pic of the proper curved front drop links for a C4S.
