[lewisnerio]

hey guys just got new dobinson shocks and springs put in and the mechanic noticed my link pins needed replacing,so off i went and bought new ones,bought them home,got them from online auto store here in virginia brisbane,guy told me they were adjustable from 2-8 inch,wasnt sure wat he meant from that until i got home to wack them in,need some guidance as to wat to do as they are much bigger and longer the the original ones already in there,are they supposed to be cut?and if so do i use the original ones as a guide for how long they need to be?been looking for videos of anyone who might have done them cant seem to find any,so yeah any guidance or tips much appreciated,thx guys,have a good safe xmas,God bless

Yes they need to be cut if they are too long. With the car sitting on level ground the sway bar ends need to be parallel with the ground.
