Need help! End Links & Sway Bars

[Airborne]

Ok just installed some whiteline end links and sway bars. When I finally got the car off the jack stands and put the wheels on the front suspension was raised really high. I literally could put my entire hand in the wheel well. What could Have possibly went wrong? I’m lowered on eibach sportlines if it matters

Did you move it at all? I remember when I would do suspension adjustments, it would look high until I actually drove the car away from being lifted.

Drive it to see if it settles. If not, adjust the end links to the same length as the stock end links.

You probably didn't load the suspension before adjusting and tightening down the end links. The geometry under compression is different than when under full droop. And you also need to grease them if you didnt.

Nope didn’t move it.

I’m going to give this a shot tomorrow and then drive it and see what happens.

its just from your suspension being at full droop. Same thing happens when I lift the front end. Looks ugly until i come back the next morning and the springs settle back.

no worries

Update: I drove on it This morning for about 30
Minutes and right now there’s about 4 fingers gap on the passenger side and 3 fingers on driver. How much do I have to drive or wait until it fully seats?
