Take the springs off the shocks and bolt everything else up, lift one wheel and see what happens to the other.


The reason for the end links having balljoints is because it's macpherson strut and the strut rotates as you turn the wheels. There are aftermarket end links that don't have balljoints (perrin non adjustable), just big bushings at both ends that deflect when you turn the wheel.
