Here is my question, when installing new Alta control arms and sway bar end links (front and rear). We noticed the new rear Alta end links did not match the configuration of the OEM. The difference is the stud length on one end of the OEM link is longer than the other. My guess it is longer so as to go through the aluminum trailing arm.

Part # on the Alta Box is:
Rear End Links
(all models)
AMP-SUS-410

Please advise-Thanks Ron
Ron,

Thanks for the reply and the criticism. Not going to make excuses but Friday afternoons can well be Friday afternoons and you shouldn't have to come out on the short end! My apologies1

The R56/55/57 and R53 GP will require a different ALTA PT# AMP-SUS-415 for the rear endlinks than the R53/52/50 PT# of AMP-SUS-410. As you pointed out the lower rear rod end is different and includes longer hardware to make a proper connection.

Not knowing where and how you got the endlinks, but we can certainly exchange something for you, or your ALTA dealer can as well. Just PM Jarid or I on how we can help move things along for you.

Thanks again for choosing ALTA!
