It was on ramps so it was loaded. I'll go put in on stands and look at it.

well after i posted, I figured that you wouldnt be able to get under to take the pic if it wasnt suspened hehehe.


But since it was on ramps, it sorta simulates what it would be like on the ground. (loaded) So.....I have no idea, it looks pretty weird to me...g/l

I know and if this is normal that looks like a lot of play. I'll email Tom@Kartboy and see what he has to say.

Hey Dan, mine are the exact same when I first seen them I was like what is going on but until now I forgot about them. The picture was taken from the front right because the back end links on my car look normal the front is what looks messed up...on my car..

Almost looks to me

like the sway bar isn't centered. When I installed my Noltec front sway bar links, I loosened all the sway bar bushing mounts and centered the wheels so that when the links were tight the bar was centered.

Oh yeah,

I have my front stock links if you think yours is jacked. I don't think it is. I'd pull it off and make sure it swivels freely.

I don't think they are messed up. But I do think it's time to upgrade.

I got my Noltec from Oakos.

Excellent price, and service from Oakos and Noltec. I am almost positive your links are good. They swivel a lot. However, they should be nearly identical between sides. Your wheels were pointed straight, right?

San, are your end links the same as the one's on our cars because I did a search and really didn't find much. I know the ones on a RS are different I think...HEY San disregard dumb question found my answer had to look in a different place.
