> i got a question for those who know - how tight are the endlinks supposed 2 be. And is it normal for them to not stick up straight off the lca? Mines is like on a 45degree angle, maybe the castor is off?

quick look in the fsm and it says for the FRs:

about 20 lbft for the nut on the lca  
about 35 lbft for the nut on the swaybar

endlink should be nice and square as viewed from the top (no rotation for the endlink rod end).

the endlink should also be vertical as possible as viewed from the side. if it’s not you’re preloading the endlink bushings like crazy…and they will fail much sooner.

to prevent this, torque down everything with the car on the ground, and if this isn’t possible, jack up the lca enough to bring it close to your regular ride height and torque, repeat for the other side.
