DJM Suspension - Tech Tips- Sway Bar End Links

DJM has found many installers are over tightening front sway bar end links. This will cause the bolt to break. Please refer to the photos below to see the right and wrong way the bolts are to be tightened.
When installing sway bar end links on DJM's lower control arm kits, we suggest first loosening the bolts holding the D-bushings to the frame. When installation is complete, tighten the end link bolts then cycle the suspension a few times. This will allow the sway bar to seat to the lowering kit. After cycling the suspension then tighten the D-bushings.
Sway Bar End Link with Correct Torque	Left picture is the correct installation. Notice there is about 2-3 treads past the nylock nut. The right picture is incorrect installation. Look at the amount of threads past the nut. This bolt is overtightened.	Sway Bar Enk Link bolt Overtightened.
Sway bar bolts only need to be tight enough so they do not move . Over tightening bolts do not help the sway bar function in any way and only puts unnecessary stress on the bolts.
