It isnt a type of seal you can go too tight with is it? Like a kitchen sink gasket, you pinch those a little, water leak! Maybe the same deal

The only leak I had at during the first start test was the output fitting from the oil relocation plate. They were pre-installed and I didn't bother checking them. Fixed that, now the hose fitting at the same location leaks (where the red elbow meets the blue nut), and like yours, fine at idle. I'll be taking some oil with me on my first real drive.

I just got back from a quick drive to the car wash with mine, no oil on the ground after letting it idle for 15 mins after driving it. Fingers crossed. Also eyeballing a alignment is not a good idea in the Z, lol felt like ice the whole time. Gotta get it into get aligned soon here.

I just put Whiteline front and rear bars and those lateral locks with the allen bolts came included for the front & rear.

Maybe they include them with the new ones? I have had my sway bars for a while. The fronts had the proper locks, but the rear had the simple locks. No biggie, Jomer at Fred Beans gave me a heck of a deal so it's all good

Must be because I only have the clip on versions and the definitely didn't keep the bar in place. If it wasn't for the diff stopping it I think it would have snapped the stock end link off!

Yeah, I could have used fast setting panel bond and been done with it but... its a bitch to remove the skirt if you have to down the road. This way I'll be able to remove the skirts incase I need to take the car in for service.
