Steeda Vertical Link Install Frustration

[SmokedSS]

I believe I changed everything you can change under the rear including lowering springs without any help and by far the vertical links is where I almost gave up too.

Also watched video and it does look sooo easy, LOL.. Ended upwith a bigger pry bar and BIG hammer, in the end I won;)

The difference in manufacturing tolerances can be very frustrating when purchasing aftermarket parts. I know I've had to call it quits a few nights on the garage. Glad you them in

I installed a freaking Whipple Supercharger... no problem. Barton short throw? Forget about it... piece of cake. First forum member to pull OEM spoiler and post about it.... check. First to show dash ripped apart for nGauge installation... yeah that was The Bastage. Suffered through my own header install, and wear my fading scars like a badge of honor.

But, now I have been humbled. I'm kicking the absolute shit out of my garage door because I can't get these damn Steeda Vertical Links installed. 4 bolts have kicked my ass for hours. I cannot get the bottom bolts to line up AT ALL. I watched the CJ Pony video... and as always they make it look simple. For me this ain't simple, and it's pissing me off.

Any help would be appreciated from someone who has completed this install.

Just wait until you need to put the oil pump pickup tube back on. One 10mm bolt took me 2.5 hours moving a hair a turn at a time. :shrug:
