Stabalizer link adjustment?

Does anyone know the correct procedure if one exists on how to adjust the front sway bar end links. I am curious as to how you know here the end of the bar should ride on the link or at what height. It seems to be all thread so it could be put most anywhere in the travel.[u] Thanks in advance for the help.

With the stock type bars the outer arm should be level with the lower control arm. You can fine tune them if you have adjustable links. Shortening them increases the rate. I used to run some really fancy race pieces made out of aluminum rod stock and Heim joints. Those were a waste of time unless you had the tools to scale the car for every track.
