[urq] Connecting Link Front Suspension

[Todd Phenneger]

Soak the links in Penetrant before removal and I cant see any reason you would damage them during removal.  I've run 4kq links on my urq suspension.  It also appears newer 90q links wold be the same.  But again, why would they be damaged on removal.  They just slide out of the  bushin.  2-nuts, and remove.  Just soak it all up well and use a wire brush to clean the threads before you back the nuts off and it should go smoothly.
