I just put shorter endlinks on my front stabalizer bar a few weeks ago,
my car has been getting some work done sence and while driving it home the stearing became amazingly unstable. I felt like the car was going to flip when i would change lanes,
after i got home, i found the endlinks were very loose, so i figured i just needed to tighten them, after doing so it still does the same thing,
keep in mind i just got 500lbs of soundsystem in the back seat, and i have the pro kit lowering springs.
PLease help ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Yikes makes you wonder who was out having fun in your car while it was at the shop. Loose endlinks shouldn't make the car feel like it is going to flip. I'd make sure to carefully look over the whole car before taking back out. Could be a serious issue with something

Hmm well that rules that out. Cars without a sway bar feel lose but I wouldn't say they feel like rolling over. You'll get a pretty good lean without the links tight. How does the tie rod ends look? Also the rack bushings and rack itself. Any play in the steering shaft?

the tie rods look old, i see that the bushing on the swaybar "holders" are almost not there anymore.

it feels like when you turn the wheel at of 40 mph a little turn goes to far, and almost out of control, it almost floats

Did you get the proper length end links when you replaced them? Check all your bushings up front.

it is their fault. i worked at wheel works and is their policy to always check each lug with a torque wrench. if all 5 were loose that fast, id venture that they were never even tight to begin with.
sue!!!

I didn't think that the endlinks would be that big of a deal. Thank god you found the problem at home and not at freeway speed. I'd walk in there and raise hell. Lug nuts don't just come lose no matter what they say. Stupid wheel works....not the first time I've heard this one from them. I mean this could have caused a major accident not to mention putting your life in harms way. And their response!!! That would leave me very red in the ass. They should cover the labor on your job and the wheel NO questions.... thats the least they could do...

Remember they do tell you to re-check the lugs after so many miles. Lugnuts do come loose, it's happened to my rims before, ones that I installed myslef. It ended up being that the lugnuts I was using for the rims I had on the car didn't fit right so they were backing out.
