Meyle HD sway bar links
Changed my sway bar links to Meyle 316 060 4322/HD, took me hours as there was no where to counterhold at all on them and the bolt starts spinning inside the swaybar link after a few turns!
The self locking nuts are of inferior quality imo.. One of them simply would´nt tighten, just kept spinning and after fighting to get it off again (again no counterhold) I found that the thread inside the nut was totally gone, without me using any kind of excessive force.The swaybar link bolt was fine!
Thankfully I had some reserves of better quality and got everything tightened properly at last!
Lets see how long it takes for them to go bad.. Heavy Duty my a**..

There are counterholds! Look at the end of the threaded bolt. Cannot be seen on the pic), better than the old system which looked like this

Well, nothing except rubber on the ones I bought.. Under the rubber then perhaps? I didnt feel like destroying brand new rubber coverings so I got them mounted by using a plier at the bolt end to keep the bolt from turning (which will give me hell when I have to change them eventually

at the end of the threaded piece where the bolt comes on, have once more a look, a torx/inbus fits in (hexagon).
If I remember correctly. Will try to see if I have a pic of that.

16 actually, Guys its not like I´m blind or anything..
The torx fitting escaped me Shogun, and I was looking like a idiot for the 16 spanner counterhold like on the old ones.. Doesnt make it any easier now that they´re on! Sigh..
