034 RSB End Link issues and a cure.

I've been hearing a lot of popping noises coming from the 034 RSB end links. I installed their new RSB bushings yesterday and realized that the end links are at such an angle that the bolt heads were rubbing the outside of the heim joints. I don't understand why they made the spacers so short. You can't make the lower spacers any longer or you wouldn't be able to get a wrench on the bolt. There's plenty of room behind the upper joint though. I turned a couple new spacers with an added a 3/4" long by 1" OD section to move the end link into a more vertical position. I got them installed this morning and went on a test drive. The RSB seems much quieter now. There is still an occasional pop but it's much quieter than before.
