    Front sway bar spacer question

    I'm working on front suspension assembly at the moment, and have a question regarding the spacers that go on the bolts that tie the front sway bar to the lower bolt on the shocks. At full suspension droop, the angle that the rod ends are sitting at seems pretty severe to me. I don't know if they straighten out when the suspension is loaded, or whether I should cut the spacers down to try to get the rod ends to be more vertical.

    Thanks,
    John

    It's fine the way it is. If you want to see what it looks like, move the spring perch down and run the suspension through it's range.
