Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The sway bar end links are bolted to the strut assembly in stock form... where am I supposed to bolt it onto on the PSS9's, I,m confused... car is disaasembled. what to do?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

In the front, it appears there is no place on the coilovers to bolt on the sway bar end link...

POST 4Original post

sounds like you're trying to put the rear strut on the front....or you've got the wrong model. Post pics of the whole set. Fronts have a flange tab for the drop link, rears have a cup at the bottom and eyelet for bolting to the control arm...see attached. The front is uninstalled, the rear is installed with drop link at bottom.

POST 5Original post

oops...I got that wrong...I was thinking regular Bilsteins

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 9723419

It's bolted in the exact same spot.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here ya go... as you can see the sway bar end link is bolted to the strut, but on the coilover itself, there is no place to bolt the sway bar end link on... what am I missing here?

POST 8Original post

Do you need to re-use the alum carrier from the existing? Kinda looks that way.

POST 9Original post

My PSS10 came with new links for the front. I thought PSS9 also had them.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

something is definetly missing....

POST 11Original post

That is not the actual strut it's bolted to, but the lower spring perch. Can't use the stock link I guess.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I figured out thru a bit more internet research that I need shorter sway bar end links for the front, the stock ones are to long to reach the new mounting point on the Pss9's. So back to Bilstein I go... thanks guys.

POST 13Original post

Where did you get thr PSS9? They should have come with front links

POST 15Original post

You might check for sources for adjustable links from aftermarket suppliers. Or contact the seller to see if they have the Bilstein links. I still have my old setup and could compare the size of the links.

POST 16Original post

yup you need shorter drop links for coil overs. I have TRG on mine, awesome piece.

POST 17 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Hyper911... nice car!!
