Could you explain this? Are the drop links and end links one and the same? If so, with urethane bushings and the car on the ground, how can you tell if they are preloaded? I assume you just snug them up without going too tight? Other than looking at how 'compressed' the bushings are, is there an easy way to tell if each side of the sway bar is approximately the same in terms of tension/preload?
