You may have to adjust the ride height (lowered) after you bolt up the link. May not have enough room after the control arm is compressed a bit.

On a different subject matter. Does anyone's links pop going into corners or over bumps? I'm not slammed but down to about a finger gap. I'm thinking the lowered height is causing my links to bind. I thought about purchasing shorter ones to see if it cures the problem or not.

Mine doesn't make any noise at all. You can try tightening the top nut of your coilovers with an air gun. Or maybe your end links are just bad.

Sorry for the thread jack OP.

I'm thinking the links are bad, like you said. I've unbolted them and drove around with no noise. Once they are bolted back up, they pop again. Thanks, SH.

i got them to fit but i get the popping sound too. but i could not tighten them all the way because they were rusted to hell. im probably gonna grind them off and put new ones. maybe that will stop the popping :/
