Hi all,
Just took delivery of my 22mm non adjustable rear sway bar for my 2008 LT TDCi. Went to install it this morning and noticed that the standard sway bar links bolting points are 'horizontal' whereas the whiteline one is 'vertical' if that makes sense. I'll try explain that again if it didnt make sense, on the original the bolt runs straight up and down through the sway bar, meaning I need different links which weren't included? Anyone know what the story is here? Cheers |

This has been covered in another thread a while back, you will need to purchase the correct links

Yea sweet, guess I assumed when it said it would fit an LT that it would come with everything one would need to fit it.

Can the links be bought from the whiteline website because I can't see any other than the quite pricey adjustable links

Sorry... LS/LT? aren't those previous focus models?
i'm hoping to get advice along the lines of "buy "insert band name here"... or something like: the OEMs are XXmm Front and XX mm rear, so for a balanced upgrade go with the YYmm and YYmm... |

i can't work out for the life of me why they use such long endlinks...
just makes it the weakest link. and i personally don't like the whiteline endlinks. |
