034 Rear Sway Bar End link install ?

[chip_]

In step 11 it says:
Compress suspension to static ride height. Using 2 16mm wrenches, tighten the 034Motorsport Adjustable Rear End Link to the rear control arm. Torque to 40Nm + 180 Degrees. Note: Upper bolts should be tightened with the vehicle at static ride height!

So if my car is up on Jack stands can I not do this last step until the car is lowered to the ground which would mean I can't get underneath it?

Could you put the car on ramps?

Alternatively, keep your car on jack stands and then take your jack and carefully place it under the lower control arm, jacking up the wheel/hub assembly to where you would estimate ride height would be. Can measure hub center to top of fender to get an idea of how far that may be. Careful not to place the jack pad on the brake dust shield. GL.

Put your jack stands under your lower control arms instead of the body. This will compress your suspension to ride height. Alternatively you can roll your rear wheels onto some ramps if you're not comfortable going with the first method.

I will have to see if any of my friends have car ramps? Used to but got rid of them and went to Jack Stands.

Ok car is up on ramps and stock parts have been removed. Though now I have a question on the rear end links?

I have this part - 034-402-4029
In the directions - https://www.034motorsport.com/docs/b...4-402-4029.pdf it really doesn't say if you need to thread it all the way up or not. If it is threaded all the way up it is shorter than the stock part.
If you want it to be roughly the same length it looks like this but I think there are not many threads left in the shaft.




If I go look at this part - 034-402-4024
https://www.034motorsport.com/docs/0...ly_Install.pdf

It says to leave 6 threads exposed.

Anyone have the correct info for this?

Yeah I also sent in an email yesterday. Hoping to hear back today so I can continue with the install and get it done.

I would appreciate sharing the insight when you receive it. I am picking them up shortly.

Some general feedback from 034 CS:
When installing these endlinks, I generally recommend matching the OEM endlink length, to begin with. This gives you a good baseline and flexibility to adjust preload as needed. The six threads can also be a good baseline for most B9s and should be close to OEM length.
As long as the heim has good thread engagement with the endlink body and the jam nut is properly tightened down once the length is set, you should be good.
You will likely need to decrease the length/preload a bit when throwing these in, pending your setup, which should allow for the proper thread engagement. When the suspension and swaybar is at ride height load, the endlinks should install without a fight or need to change the load on the bar.

Interesting enough when I got the new 034 sway bar lightly mounted the 034 end links lined up properly with no threads exposed while on the car ramp.
