Maxx Links installed

[CookJ]

The links arrived yesterday and I installed them last night. Although the link angle on the passenger side is still off abit from the other side, I don't have any rubbing happening at the coil spring as I did with the superlift links. I believe this is the result of having a rigid connection at the base rather than a ball-n-socket. I think they look sharp and hope they perform as good as they look. Will try to attach some pics.

I got mine yesterday. I don't have a lift. I am just looking to tighten up the front a bit. I am also waiting for the bar to frame bushings in polygraphite from PST. The bar measure 34 mm... and the PST's only come in a 30 and a 32 mm. Maybe the bar has a reduction at those 2 points? Maybe I just need to "make" them fit? We'll see what happens.

CRUZMSL, Did you take actual measurements of the bar or find this information somewhere? James

 

[Curious Dave]

OK. Done! We'll see how it drives. I don't expect much w/o the poly bar bushings, but hopefully I will be surprised.

James... . I took a crescent and closed it over the o. d. of the bar and then measured the opening in the wrench with a small stainless mm scale.

I'll measure this evening with calipers. I don't believe the bar is perfectly round and will measure each quadrant. I bet the bushings you ordered will work just fine though. By the way, driving to work this morning I did notice an improvement and feel I got my $$'s worth (so far).

Do they make them for the rear sway bar? I find the ones on the rear to be the ones that are shot on most of the 2nd gen rigs I have worked on. I have not found a bad front one yet.

 

[CookJ]

Unless you have something exotic, just send them the dimensions of your current links and they should be able to design something to bolt right in.

I go tto drive around on mine and noticed a nice improvement as well. I hope the bar bushings make a significant improvement also. This has me wondering about the rest of the bushings. Has anyone tried the 4 solid front end bars? I know they make a heck of a difference in the old Chevelles on the rears.
