    Jack on axle or end of equalizer bar that is correct and using a bar you can snap the wrong one back in place...it may go back on it's own.

    They will flip back into correct position. We had one do this last year while traveling on Indiana interstates. The guys at Equalizer noticed it & pointed out next bump in the road should snap it back. Sure nough by Tx it was healed

    Yes that is it. Push link back into position as you put weight back on the spring.
