Hey all, about to install my progress rear sway bar. Searched through the boards, found nothing. I recall "hahaitzskippy" posting a pic of his end link, but couldnt seem to find it.

The product sheet that came with it says that I should have 4 jam nuts, It seems I only have 2. Some of the pictures on the sheet show the end link with the jam nuts on, and some without.

Now I'm going to install it on the stiffest setting, meaning that the end links are going to be the shortest setting anyways and pretty much threaded all the way down.

Are those jam nuts necessary for the end links?

Thanks,

Rich.

 

I just installed my Hotchkis bar... but I have no idea what these "jam nuts" are you're talking about. Is this something specific to the Progress bar? Did it come with new endlinks? Cause my endlinks just have 1 nut on them. Then there are two bolts and two nuts holding the rest of the bar on.

 

The progress comes with new end links, they are pretty much in 3 peices, 2 end peices and a bolt thats threaded all the way, holding them together



it kind of looks like that red end link, except the middle peice is threaded, the jam nuts are just nuts that go in the middle, between the 2 "ends." They thread on so that the 2 ends don't move any closer to each other.

Kinda a crappy explanation...

 

progress had som qc problems call the place you got your set from and they should send you the missing parts free.mine was missing all the spacers and both end links lol

 

Just ran to Home Depot and got some 3/8ths Fine Jam Nuts.
