Hello all! Just got the replacement knob installed. Now adjusts like a charm.

While I was setting up the suspension I noticed this nut was hand loose. What should it be torque down too? Can't seem to find that anywhere.

^The top hat nut on OEM struts is torqued to 22 ft-lbs. You'll need to use a wrench on the flats of that shaft to keep the shaft from rotating while tightening the nut.

Also if you do some searching for "McMaster Carr endlinks" for the Saner sway bars you'll find info on new endlinks that will work better with your current setup. The way you currently have the endlinks installed appears that they will bind under normal motion of the suspension.

Or you can buy an OEM front sway bar and sell your Saner bar. Unless you are running a square tire setup and/or autox/track your car then you don't really "need" it.

Thanks for the information, I have the top hat nut torqued down correctly now. I was just surprised that it was hand loose. Makes me worry about the rears now, it's just a bit painful to get to those.

With the endlinks adjusted to the softest position I have really good clearance the whole way around. What do you mean by "bind under normal motion of the suspension". I'll definitely look for the mcmaster carr endlinks.
