25407 COMPETITION ENDLINK KIT

2002-UP SUBARU WRX

Thank you for your purchase from our line of Subaru WRX parts. Please call us at (877) 4NO-ROLL if you have any

questions regarding the service or installation of your Hotchkis products.

Special Note: Our new & improved end links are now maintenance free. So there are no grease fittings

needed. Pictures in this manual shows the previous design with grease fittings.

INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS FRONT ENDLINKS

(Step 1) Remove the stock end links from the vehicle. Install your new Hotchkis end links in the same manner as the
picture below. Don’t forget to place the provided washer before each nylock nut. The jam nut installed on your end
links should be loose during installation. This will allow you to position the ball joint studs correctly.

(Step 2) Use a 9/16” wrench and a 3/16” allen wrench to tighten the nylock nuts for each stud. (Tip: If

possible, try using a “ratcheting wrench” to speed up the process.)

(Step 3) Next, center the ball joints to avoid possible binding. Once they are positioned, tighten the jam
nut using an 11/16” wrench. Use vise grips to hold the female ball joint to avoid spinning.

You are finished with the front end link installation! Make sure to re-check all hardware tightness after the first 100
miles, or if you hear a knocking sound from the front.
