I know you use adjustable droplinks to dial out any preload.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I wouldn't buy these. The nuts around the main body loosen up all the time and my car sounds like the front end is going to fall off. I have tried red loctite and still they loosen up. Before I buy another brand, I tightened the hell out of them today. Even the nuts that hold the droplink to the GT3 sway and the shockbody were loose. What a bad design. So far no clunking driving around today. I'm sure they'll loosen up shortly. I know you use adjustable droplinks to dial out any preload. With the adjustment nuts loosening up so often, I have no idea what the length of the droplink is suppose to be. How do you tell when there is no preload on the GT3 swaybar. Without going back to my local indy, how can I adjust the droplinks in my garage. I know you need to compress the suspension so you have to adjust them under load sitting on the wheels. Thats why the car is put up on an alignment rack to intall and adjust the GT3 sway and droplinks. When I turn the wheel, I have access to the droplinks to adjust them. I'm just not sure how long to make them. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Ken, I have heard way too many dissatisfaction posts with AP products failing. My guess is they are not built at all to track standards. I would NOT trust my suspension to products like these. YOu need to stick to the race shops that really know these products and either fab them in house or use source out very sturdy units.

POST 3Original post

Try Powergrid links, they are awesome. Rock solid, no binding in either of the 5 holes (99 C2 using H&R coilovers and GT3 sways). And they are cheaper than the AP links. http://www.powergridinc.com/swaybar.asp Gunter

Buy some grade 8 locknuts at a hardware store. My TRG links loosen up also even if it was torqued to spec, one reason to check the car over doing any motorsport activity.
