rear sway bar links question

I upgraded my rear swaybar to a 22mm dc5 typer swaybar, the car handles much better with this upgrade but after the install the endlink upper joint pins are not aligned at the center of their range of movement when car is parked on straight ground, they are going about 30 degrees upward from their center, is this ok or does the sway bar assembly need to be diassembled and assembled again ? the bar and link are solid and there's no play whatsoever which is why i'm hesitant on redoing it. it's a pain to get those perfectly aligned, any tricks on getting a perfect alignment on those ?

That's normal. You won't be able to get the joints to not pivot up.

Re: rear sway bar links question

should not be a problem. if it bothers you, get an adjustable endlink when they go out?

Just buy the parts on your own. I just bought the exact ones dezod sells for 1/2 the price.

I bought the parts from McMaster-Carr.
