N2itive rsx-3 lower links won’t snap on

[gojiragojira]

Model S Plaid 2023

Rsx-3 tartan lowering links.

Are these supposed to be that hard to snap onto the balls after removing the factory link?

Is there some technique I am missing?

They just do not want to pop on at either end. I have one of the front ones off and have not tried the rears yet.

Thank you for any suggestions / help you can provide.

Have you tried putting a little bit of grease on the ball or in the socket that might help if you have a set of calipers, it might be worth measuring the
ID of the socket compared to the OD of the ball to just double check it’s not way off

Grease helped get the metal ball end on.

The plastic ball just does not want to go in the socket….

Use a pair of pliers to pinch them on

In the end this was the way.

Make sure you are 100% straight on when applying force, take off the wheels, and use pliers for the plastic ball ends
