I have a set of new Moog endlinks (OEM replacement) and ordered some new bushings from Wheelers Off Road (http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/4runswaykit.htm).

I tried to install the bushings on the end links and wondering how people are getting them on? Looks like they have to be compressed a good amount before you can get the top nut on. Any tips or advice?

Thanks

 

Put a jack under the LCA and jack it up. Once you get it started, you can just tighten it w/ a socket.

 

I installed Energy bushings not long ago, and this wasn't an issue. Even without compressing anything, with the washers and bushings in place, the bolt was sticking out a good 1/2". When tightened down they were same thickness as OEM. Sure you got the right ones?

 

When I put oem ones on my truck, I had to jack up the LCA.

 

The Moog end links are exact same length as OEM. I have the same issue with the bushings that came with the Moog so I am sure I have all the right hardware. I have them off the truck now along with the sway. I was trying to put them on the sway before mounting the sway to the truck...maybe thats my issue. I'll mount the sway back on then the end links and go from there.

 

That is what I would do.
