Issues installing aftermarket rear sway bar end links
I have been trying to install whiteline sway bar endlinks. I'm having trouble getting the end link to fit onto the rear lower control arm. I've attempted to apply grease on the end links to assist it going. Having trouble getting the endlink to go in. Any tips/tricks to get this to go in? I've also tried using a c clamp to give it a little push but still having trouble getting it go in all of the way so i can align the bolt through the control arm.

Maybe loosen the bolts on the damper and sub frame to allow the lca to spread a little more?

I put whiteline rear swaybar endlinks in at the start of the year and whilst I remember them not slipping straight in, they were nowhere near as difficult to get in as you're describing it. what is the part number of the links you're using? mine are KLC182 |

Grease + wiggle it back and forth and it should finally slide in.
Also, make sure you do the control arm bolt before connecting the endlink’s ball joint to the sway bar. |

The part number is also KLC182. Its weird that I'm having so much trouble getting them in. I will attempt to loosen some of the other bolts see if that helps.
