I noticed my rear sway bar end links are broken, so I bought a set of godspeed swaybars and curcuit sports endlinks. When I put the rear endlinks on the swaybar, I noticed that the bolt is much smaller than the hole in the swaybar. Is this normal, or will I need bigger endlinks or a spacer? Any help will be appreciated. I want to make sure it's safe or not. Thanks.

Normal because on new bushings there is part of it that goes in the sway bar.

Ok, thanks. I actually put them on today, took me about 5 hours for both. Last summer, I thought my kyb struts/intrax springs were shot, so I put my stock springs/struts back on temporarily, Well, as soon as I took it for a ride, I knew the worn out swaybars were the majority of the problem. I was surprised how much of a difference they made in not only cornering, but traction and stopping on a dime! I pulled my car up on ramps front and back, it was a pretty easy install. Also for anyone attempting to loosen their swaybar to chassis bolts, I would strongly recommend heating the bolts or nuts almost to red hot(barely), turn your torch off, and quickly squirt them with pb blaster, and they will come right out. If they get tight again, stop, and heat it again. Dont keep cranking on them because they will break easily(I learned this the hard way on my pathfinder). ALSO BE AWARE WHERE YOU'RE POINTING YOUR TORCH, ESPECIALLY IN THE REAR WHERE YOU'RE RIGHT UNDER THE GAS TANK. A small propane torch works better. Anyone with more than 150,000 miles on their 240sx, I would recommend changing your swaybars, you wont be disappointed.
