I'm looking for installed pictures of the front sway bar end link. I think mine are installed incorrectly but before I start messing around with them it will be great to see installed pics, preferably when the wheels are in the straight position and when the are turned all the way to each side. Thanks

 

It's the same on all RWD cars, this TRQ video has good camera angles.


AWD ones you can't really screw up, they only fit one way.

 

I'm planning to install new front end links. Do I need to load the suspension before I tighten the bolts? If yes, what's the correct way to do it?

 

Hand tighten and lower the car on to ramps if possible. I've struggled and tightened them when car is fully on the ground and turning the wheel.

 

Sway bar end links you can do with the car in the air since the stud end rotates even when torqued. The general rule of thumb is you only need to load the suspension for BUSHINGS.

 

And most things that require loading the suspension you can just leave the car on jackstands, put your service jack and block of wood under the steering knuckle or hub, and jack it up to a loaded position. Then torque everything.
