I have done that before........ Another unexpected problem arose with the sway bar lollipops arriving from the supplier without new nyloc nuts. Maybe I should have requested these seperately? The original lollipop nuts do not fit the new lollipops which had me again doing the rounds trying without success to find M10 1.25 NYLOCS. I found regular nuts (Pop's hardware shop again) which I might have to use with Loctite until I can locate the right parts. I will also search my box of old automotive nuts but I don't hold much hope in that direction. Question time: CARDISC detail is too small for me to see how the four new lollipop rubber bushes are arranged on attachment to the suspension control arm. It looks to me like lollipop has two cylindrical rubber bushes which meet in the middle of the control arm hole. Each rubber bush has a 1mm ridge on one side. Do the two ridges meet in the middle of the control arm hole? I assume I have to clamp the tie rod nearer the control arm in order to gain enough thread on the lollipop to enable the nut to gain purchase. The old bushes had long since disappeared so I had no original point of reference. Ta, Neville.
