Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance’s development history is almost as complicated a saga as Metal Gear Solid’s story. Close would be nice, but a little off shouldn't matter.Developer: Platinum Games/Kojima Productions As the axle moves in an arc, those links don't work in a straight up and down vertical plane anyway. I would be more concerned about making sure the spacer is there than I would be about a little angle to those links. As the axle moves up and down the angle on those links changes, both at the sway bar and at the axle. I am surprised they don't have spacers for the lower mount point. The sway bar can be moved a little side to side, and maybe yours needs to be better centered.īut I would definitely run the spacer on both links. You look to have an adjustable SteerSmart track bar, is it adjusted so the axle is centered side to side?Ī sway bar is spring steel and it is really unlikely it is bent. The first is that the axle on a JK / JKU is not always centered side to side, and if it is off to one side it could make the sway bar links sit at an angle. There are a number of factors that come to mind with that issue. Wow, you bought those sway bar end links? I imagine a certain amount of the gap will close when I torque the bolt to 75lbs., but still, it just doesn't look right to me. Picture 4 is of the bottom of the end link, and Picture 5 is a more exaggerated picture of the bottom of that end link. You can see that the bottom of the end link is not happy and the space at the bottom of the end link is become larger. Picture 3 is the passenger side with the 1/2" spacer inserted. Both the top and bottom of the end link fit nicely against their intended area. Picture 2 is the passenger side, without the 1/2" spacer between the sway bar and the end link. Picture 1 is the drivers side, which I believe is installed correctly. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe my sway bar is bent although I can't imagine how it would have happened. If I remove the spacer, the end link is perfectly straight. There is a 1/2" spacer that goes between the end link and the sway bar, and when I put that spacer in, the end link goes off at an angle. I took the end link off the passenger side and moved it to the inside of the bracket like the one on the drivers side. I found the install instructions on Steer Smarts website and after comparing them to the way the End Link was installed on my Jeep, the installer put the End Link on the outside of the bracket on the passenger side and on the inside of the bracket on the drivers side. 1) that the shop that did the install actually installed it that way and 2) that the alignment shop didn't notice it. The one on the drivers side was straight. But upon arriving home, I looked under the Jeep and found that the Sway Bar End Link on the passenger side, was not straight up/down, it was at a sevire angle. I picked up the Jeep a little while ago after getting an alignment. It was about $160, best mod for the $ by far for me. My wife and daughter riding as passengers noticed immediately the first time they were in the jeep after I installed it. I think your springs are similar to their kit, it will be a nice affordable upgrade. If you go on the aev forum or their site they recommend it as an upgrade. I would add quick disconnects in rear if it matters. It will limit your articulation a bit if you really care/need it in the rocks. Not very expensive and it will make a very noticeable difference on the road in handling curves,crosswinds and blow by from tractor trailers. I would strongly consider the Hellwig rear sway bar. As far as the crosswinds on highway, I believe those springs in your kit are dual rate. Probably out of spec from factory, but not needing replacement. I think your ball joints most likely are fine also. Took the edge off the feel in the steering. Click to expand.I ran the regular attenuator until I upgraded to their larger unit.
