Well, I pointed you to the link but the credit goes to SC_Highlander who authored that great how-to install thread

Same here, Nobody did should get the credit for the nice write up and pics.

BTW,

have you noticed any difference in feeling since you changed how the endlinks are attached?

I'm having similar issues to gerryk's with the Saner bar. I've taken the bar off and reinstalled it several times. The clunking always returns. I think my problem is with the endlinks binding as SC_Highlander has pointed out can be a problem. I run the bar in the full stiff position for autox on concrete with Victoracers. I'm yet to see any pictures of this bar actually installed with the endlinks in the stiffest position. Anyone? The spacers, bolts, and nuts just won't work out perfectly in any arrangement that I've found. Any suggestions from someone who runs this bar in the stiffest position?

As I have been driving over the last day some of the clunking has returned but just over bumps, like speed bumps etc. at slow speeds. I am going to recheck my fittings. JRSC, I am using the middle setting. I am considering adjusting the center connector in the endlink unit. Has anyone had any experience with this adjustable bolt?

I run the bar in the middle setting, but I have bumped it up to full-stiff on occastion. I reverse the bolt that runs through the bar and have the endlink on the forward side of the suspension arm's mounting tab.

which is correct? Should the endlink be bolted om the front or the rear of the Aarm? I see yours bolted on the front using the middle stiffness setting

I'm curious. Can you use the stock endlinks with this bar?

You wouldn't want to. The stock endlinks are very weak.

The stock endlinks are holding up for the Whiteline users I know. Sure the Saner is stiffer but maybe the stock endlinks can take it.

Just about every competive auto-x driver that early on used the stock endlinks broke them.

They are not strong enuf.
